So this week has been a busy week because I've been here alone, my partner has been lost in a void and has messaged me saying she is coming back tomorrow, only 2 weeks late! Primary school started yesterday and I ended up finishing the lessons quite quickly, its hard for me to answer questions (because of my swahili) so we played games for the rest of the lesson.

Schools and a lot of the villagers are all [View Full Entry]

We thought we both had the flu but we went to the hospital today to get some tests done just in case and the doctor (who was a total jerk) told me that I have "3 infections" and Eliza has "one severe kidney infection"...no more information than that. For Eliza's "one severe kidney infection" she was precribed cough medicine, [View Full Entry]
