Well, it’s almost been two weeks since I returned to Boston, and I have never been so sick in my entire life!
1. Got a Staph infection on my back (well it’s gone now…)
2. Antiobiotics made my stomach so sick I can’t sleep at night…
3. I’ve got a cold, too.
It’s weird that I didn’t get sick when I was in Tanzania, but I got terribly sick when I got back. *sigh*
Anyways, I have been really busy with my thesis work, and been taking a short break from the fellowship work that I have been doing, so not too many updates there. I have been home-bound because of my stomach problems, but besides that, I am thankful that most of my work can be done remotely from home.
I miss Tanzania a lot, and especially everyone that I had met. People are so nice to everyone there. They are now great friends of mine, and thanks to the internet, I am able to keep in touch with them! I also started a Hi5 (a social networking website) profile, so that I can keep my network going. I don’t really like Hi5 though, it’s such a buggy site, and I realized that I take it for granted that Facebook is such a robust site. Props to Facebook!
I really want to go back to Tanzania, but because plane tickets are like 2,000 USD, I am really not sure when I can afford to go. One day I’d like to take my boyfriend and family there. Everyone loved the pictures, and it was good to really show them what Tanzania is like. Many people I know had no idea what’s like in East Africa (to be honest, I didn’t either, before I visited).
A lot of my friends are asking questions like “What was the most memorable thing from the trip?” Or similar questions like the sort, I can’t seem to answer those questions. Every little thing was memorable, everything was really eye opening… And things just can’t be described in words.
