Highs: Dinner with Jenny Friday night. Hamburgers, bacon and cheddar mashed potatoes (thanks for the bacon, Elaine!!!), and green beans. Power has been pretty consistent lately. Tahj Boyd is ok which means Clemson remains on a collision course with GT. If Uganda goes 5 more days without a revolution occurring then I am eligible for Completion of Service should an evacuation happen!
Related Note: Am Now Officially a Junior!!! Congrats on swear in to the new Freshman class of Peace Corps Uganda.
Really enjoyed talking with my little sister, Shannon, one morning this week.
I redesigned my blog and like the way it looks. Also like that Mitt Romney is separating himself from other nominatable opponents. Herman Cain doesn't have staying power, in my opinion.
Lows:
Rainy season is dragging on and limiting work and movement. The death of my external hard drive. Complete failure on an attempt to buy some artificial hair for my Halloween costume. The orange sports coat is a partial fail. 4 Buttons, poorly made, and the tailor stained the color. It will be decent and fun enough to wear around Uganda but won't do for alumni and booster events back home.
My neighbor with the sewing machine is continuing to fill orders for a large contract and tends to start work around 4 AM.
The applications from Camps BUILD and GLOW are horrible. See follow up post in near future.
What I Did:
Weekly lifeskills, worked on a proposal to improve Peace Corps training, re-designed the blog, tried to recruit kids for BUILD and GLOW, wasted a fair amount of time.
What Is On The Agenda:
Head into Masaka and visit the saw mill to obtain saw dust for a mud-stove project at the school. Talk with Grace and the tailoring instructor about starting one of Jenny's quilting groups at the school. Administrative stuff preparing for the Mid Service Conference. Try to finalize the BUILD / GLOW apps. Miscellaneous admin stuff around the school. Weekly life-skills.
Celebrate 1 Year Since Swear In on October 20th!!!
Sanity Meter:
Very sane right now. Football season is giving me something to look forward to once a week. There was a time when the things I was looking forward to were spaced 2 weeks to 1 month apart and the time in-between was tantamount to torture. The weeks are flying by right now and I think that I'll be in the US for Christmas in no time at all.
What I'm Reading:
Complete reading failure this last week after my ultra week. I'm about 2o% in to The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest and will finally finish it this upcoming week, but 2 weeks to get through a 500 pg page-turner is pretty weak for me.
Clemson Prediction:
Fight Tigers, Fight Tigers, Fight Fight Fight!!!
Clemson 35, Maryland 21
