Time in Africa is really kind of an elusive concept. I have pen pal letters from Atanga SS this year and I am trying to collect them for some of my students who wrote to Gulu SS last year. But..
On Thursday, I showed up to meet the Senior 3 students at 11:40 because their 10 o'clock exam would be over at noon, and I wanted to make sure I did not miss anyone.
I got there on time, but soon discovered that the exam had started at least an hour late, and it was not until 1250 or so before I actually got to talk to students. I told them, I could come again tomorrow, because many had forgotten their letters. I had talked to them about it last week, so that seemed reasonable, plus it is exam week.
So today, I was planning on showing up at 845 so I could catch them before their 9 o'clock scheduled final. I got there at 825, but they had all started their final.. more than 400 students 45 minutes early. I eventually got some letters to specific people Claire Meyer, Haley Hunter, Rachel Kuehnle, 2 for Libby Harbaugn, so get excited....
time is almost up gotta go

I saw your dad tonight and he gave told me where your blog was - so I just read the entire thing - I am so tired I feel like I took a boda boda ride. Sounds like you had yet another rewarding trip. I hope you have a good backup waiting for you when you get back!
