eh..

so im feeling a little sick today. yuck!
another bus ride yesterday. Deus had someones kid on his lap and it threw up chai biscuits on us. overall a fun busride though as most of the time i stuck my head out the window and stared at people and got yelled at and had little kids run after me a lot Deus said some little kids even told me they wanted my underwear...hmm...
at any rate sticking my head out there on all the dirt roads has made my hair so thick with dirt i can no longer run my fingers nor comb through it. not that i think i even packed a comb.

I stayed last night at Deus's aunts home which has no lights and a dirt floor. I shared a bed with one of his cousins, a 20 something girl who, in the middle of the night, suddenly grabbed me and started cuddeling before becoming coherent enough to realize what was happening and return to her side of the bed. We did however continue to share a pillow for most of the night.
today we go to GOMBE. expensive as hell but i'm stoked. its the only place to see chimps in Tanzania and for those who don't know, the place where Jane Goodall did all her research.
We are in the town of Kigoma which is where Deus grew up and we will be here a week. I'm trying to think of other news but its hard because I really need to pee..
My drug and alcohol project is changing but of course I never sit down and work on it, frustrating!
my schedule is quite confusing. i'm hopefully meeting some kids from the U.S. soon and hopefully not the college bound snooty type. oh snoots.
my swahili is coming along better now (although i was reminded of how limited it was yesterday as Deus's aunt and cousins speak no english and i was left alone at their house) and my smoking has ceased. karlos emailed me which was pretty cool too and my parents sent me some sunflower seeds and time magazines in the mail.... i carried the magazines around for like three days without end, hardly looking up. i'll have to get a subscription when i get back. I'm trying to decide where i want to live when im back and perhaps for a time i'll have to live with my parents but i'd like to do some traveling in the U.S. or get a place. anyone interested?
