I'm in Uganda!!!!!!!

EGADS! Internet is so amazingly slow, so I'll make this very short (and hopefully sweet).


Okay: let's do this stream of consciousness style.... The plane flight was amazing, 12 hours of salmon dinners and hot face towels and Bollywood and Disney movies and whatnot. I was seriously spoiled. Also, Dubai is an EXCELLENT place for a layover, let me tell you! As for Uganda, it is amazing, and I don't think I really understand that I'm actually here right now... All day I've felt seriously jazzed, like I"m on multiple cups of coffee, which is almost true because they like to serve you coffee A LOT here... Just bought a phone. Converted money to shillings. Severely confusing. Um..the internet cafe I'm in right now is called "God's Will Internet" which I think is lovely, because I feel like God's been a really solid rock for this whole experience so far, and I'm really excited about going to church next Sunday when I'm...IN RWANDA! After a little bit of orientation, I'm going on a 12 hour bus ride to Rwanda on Wednesday where I"ll spend the first month of the program. I'm excited, and I'm pumped about my group...they seem swell. Oh dear, I feel like I'm making an acceptance speech at the Oscar's and they've just started playing the "please shut up" music, because the computer is blinking at me that I only have 8 minutes left. Rwanda will have better internet cafes though and I"ll try to write out what I want before getting online and then I'll type it out like a FIEND so that this will be less pointless...I feel like I'm just rambling.

Other random points:
 They just started playing "Apologize" the African Remix in this cafe! Ha!
I actually love sleeping under a mosquito net..even though I've only seen 1 mosquito so far.
Ugandans only eat carbs. It's crazy. Last night's dinner was pasta, potatoes, bananas, rice and a tiny bit of chicken. Say waaaaaaaaaaat?

Um Um Um I absolutely and genuinely love everyone reading this blog.
