I am exhausted from too many days of long hours, getting up early, and staying up late. I was getting 5-6 hours sleep the week before I left because of seminary finals week and now I am maintaining that schedule which is really not good- very difficult to stay awake when I don't understand people's conversations for long stretches of time ;)...oh wait, sometimes I feel that in seminary!!
I am missing my classes graduation tonight- wishing you all the best but glad I am not there because I think I would have been a little too jealous to sit and watch you knowing I could not walk with you.
I found a CD of my friend david bailey here in the DR- we listened to it yesterday. Craziness!
I am also having a hard time breaking "the zikomo habit." Ie. Whenever I don't know what to say because I don't speak the language I want to slip into the language of the Malawian people. Zikomo means thank you (and your welcome, and anything else!). Papani means sorry...etc. And thus I am having a hard time of switching to the simple Hola of Spanish after a total of 13 weeks in Malawi in the past.
And lastly- I am makeshifting spinach artichoke dip for my host (who was craving it)- gotta go do that- oh the creature comforts. We all miss the weirdest things!
:) I'm off for now!
