Nimepata nafuu
Being in Njombe with other PCVs is so relaxing and fun. I really don’t want to go back to my empty site! At least I have a ton of stuff I’ve bought to fill the house up a little bit (although, stupidly, I left most of my money at home. What was I thinking?!). It’s a five-hour ride on a cramped bus on a terrible road to site, and it’s super expensive for Tanzanian transport (around $9), so I don’t think I’ll be coming into town too often. I will come back for Christmas with everyone here, because spending Christmas at site alone would be no fun whatsoever. We’re thinking of going to Iringa but we might just hang out at someone’s house here. Who knows…
But tomorrow morning I’m going back to site, and I’ll try to make my house into a home, and get to know my neighbors and all the women who fetch water from right outside my kitchen window. It should be do-able, and maybe even fun…
