7 Minute Update

Oli Otya!

That's how are you in Luganda. I'm slowly starting to learn some key phrases, and that one has been most important so far.

Only 7 minutes left at this internet cafe, so I'll have to be quick!

We arrived in Uganda yesterday, and it's hard to even begin to sum up what is happening. Lots of orientation, and I love our Academic Directors. They're really funny, even when they make us sit there all day and talk about orientation. The program is going to be very strict, and all of our time is planned down to the minute. Especially once we start classes, we will be very busy. We have lots of assignments but also lots of fun excursions planned. Tomorrow we'll be moving in with our home stay families and getting a tour of Makerere (pronouced Makelele).

Hopefully I can give more updates soon on what life in Uganda is like...it's all so different but I'm starting to appreciate it more today after having slept for 14 hours last night! Alright times up, bye!
