Hi Everyone-
I'm doing okay here in Uganda. The start of classes has gotten me a little stressed with just the overwhelming amount of work and the fact that when living in a homestay (as i am) it is difficult to get something done. I'm pretty sure that I made the right decision about taking Intro to Ugandan Politics instead of African Traditional Religions as politics holds my attention. Since I am not taking my ADHD medicine, these two hour classes can be a drag. It's also hard because I am so not used to nuances of the culture. But my first weekend is coming up so hopefully i will be able to figure more out about how to help around the house and that kinda thing. Overall, i'm doing okay at home but time at school can cause some stress. The food isn't getting old too quickly although i worry as I eat primarily carbs (rice, mashed plantains, beans, potatoes, bread/jam). Anyway, feel free to send me mail as I would love to get letters. I miss you all and hopefully i can write back more later.
