Uganda 2012

Well last night I had a terrible sleep. I was woken up in the middle of the night by someone shouting in the local language what I could only guess was for a nurse of doctor to come, but I was not sure. It was actually quite frightening, but I heard someone wake up in our hostel and tell them that there were no doctors in our building, we were just students and they directed them to a different building. I then tossed and turned all night, and was again woken up at 6:30 by yelling and people knocking on doors. Rather frustrating, especially on a Sunday morning. By 8, we were eating breakfast, and since it was already a beautiful day out, I decided to take my book outside and read. At 10, some people headed to the Catholic church for Sunday mass, while others such as myself, stayed back. I took the opportunity to finish the last book in the 50 Shades trilogy, and catch some rays! Oh and boy did I get some sun! If I had to guess, I would say that the temperature probably reached 32 degrees here today! It was amazing! I am no longer flourescent :)! After lunch, the 3 Canadian girls sunbathed on our lawn, read books and listened to music - a very typical Canadian thing to do! The others all found it to be way too warm outside, so they stayed in their rooms and napped and/or watched movies. Seeing as we may get a week total of beautiful weather like that in Canada, the 3 of us decided to soak up as much as we could. Recently, we just got back from hanging out with some of the guys from our group, as they were watching soccer at a local bar here, so we had a drink there, and came back as it was supposed to be time for supper. However, supper is supposed to be at 8, and it is now 8:40 and still not ready so I guess there wasn't really a need to rush back. Oh well.
Since I really don't have very much to blog about today, I thought I would compile a list of some things I miss about Canada already.
