This update is going to be short. I'm in the process of writing two other posts called Sites to See and Changes within Myself. I hope to have both up within the next two weeks.
Wow..I've been living on my own in Injibara for a little over a month now. Things aren't perfect and I don't think they will ever be, but I'm managing. The first few weeks I was eating out a lot, because well I couldn't make a fire on my charcoal stove. I now have a electric stove, but it is expensive. I plan to buy propane, but haven't gotten around to it, it's a trip to Bahir Dar. My house isn't comfortable or at least I don't think I'll enjoy living her for two years, so I'm in the process of looking for a new one. It is harder than it seems. I've been trying to go to school at least three times a week for a couple hours a day. Next week I am going to begin observing the English teachers. I also start Amharic tutoring next week, thanks to my friend Shmeles who connected me with one of his friends. Ummm...I'm not sure. There's so much going on, so much I need to do within the next few months and so much I wish I could do. Hopefully I'll tell you one day about this ceremony I attended for three of the primary schools. It was "Hand Washing Day" and it was madness. Kids would not and could not behave like they did here in the USA. I'll go into more detail another day. I'm sure there is more I should tell about, but right now I have nothing.
Please keep in touch!
