Blah
Yeah, I haven't updated this thing in ages. Why? Partly because life has been pretty unexciting this year, and partly because I think it would be hard for me to post any more without endless bitching about this country. Can't say I'm thrilled to be trading Tanzania's bullshit for the US's bullshit in 6 months, but I will overall be happy to come home. If I could go back in time I would still extend (mostly because of my neighbor and her son), yet I've definitely had my fill of this place.
So yeah, I should be back in the US in the beginning or middle of January. I'm going to be helping my neighbor financially so that she can send her son to a good secondary school, because the thought of him going to one of these local schools turns my stomach - I can't even really call them schools since they're so terrible (see what I meant about bitching?) I want to be here at least for the first week or so that he's in school, to make sure that everything's okay with the school. Once he's settled, I'll be ready to leave. I still haven't quite come to terms with having to say goodbye to them yet, but I have every intention of coming back to visit them as often as (financially) possible.
That's about it for me - the school finally started paying for the internet again after a long hiatus, so I will be trying to get in contact with everyone back home to see how you're all doing. Peace!
