Habari Gani?: March 2008
http://crystal-uganda-2008.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 4, 2008. Generally speaking, I’m a very optimistic person. I like to focus on the good things in life. But right now, I’m in the “iritibility and hostility” phase of culture shock, so here are some of the things I hate about Uganda. People saying “mzungu” on the street. It’s not supposed to be a bad word, with any sort of negative connotation, but it’s annoying to constantly be reminded by people on sides, “Hey, you’re visibly different! Do you really need to shout it out? 8221; someone wi...

Sunday, May 4, 2008. Western Excursion: Mbarara, Bushenyi, Kasese, Bwera, and Fort Portal. After spending another week in. With our host families, finishing our lecture series on health and development, we left the city again to go on another week-long excursion. This time, to the west. On Thursday, we left.

In the foothills of the Rwensori mount...

Friday, February 29, 2008. Swahili is coming to an end. Our oral exams are on Saturday. I signed up for the first slot, at 8:30, so Christina and I will have the whole day in Kampala. We’re thinking about going to the tombs or seeing the crocodiles, but we’re not really sure where either of those things are, so that’ll take some research. 8221; or “are you sick? Second, you’ve got sentence structure. “How has been your day? 8221; my host mother asks when I get home. “You are from where? 8221; I’m n...

Habari Gani?: Life in Seguku
http://crystal-uganda-2008.blogspot.com/2008/02/life-in-seguku.html
Tuesday, February 19, 2008. In the morning, at 5:50 AM, every day, someone comes to wake me up. If it’s Charlene, my host sister, who just turned 10 last week, she knocks, opens the door very quietly, and stares at me until I get up. If it’s Juliette, the maid, she opens the door, turn on the lights, and says “get up and bathe.”. Wear jeans and a T-shirt. It’s pretty simple when you learn the root words and get the pattern. For desert, we have pineapple and popo (which I think is just a catalope masquera...

Then, after lunch, we got back in the vans and drove for a couple more hours until we got to Mbale, where we stayed at a place called The Guest House. On Saturday, we got up early, had breakfast, and left for. We pulled over at a scenic viewing point to take pictures and recoup. “What are we going to do now? 8221; someone asked, when we got out of the vans. “Where are we going to stay? 8221; someone else said....

Obama is probably an INFP - INFP Community v2

Obama is probably an INFP - INFP Community v2. INFP Community v2: Lovers, Dreamers, and Me. Obama is probably an INFP. Apr 8th, 2008 09:58 am. INFP Community v2: Lovers, Dreamers, and Me. I've been studying our President-to-be Barack Obama, and although I often avoid trying to type people I haven't met, he seems to have very clear INFP preferences. I just finished reading his first book, Dreams From My Father. On March 18 he gave a 37 minute speech on race and religion in the US. INFPs can also be fuzzy ...
