Jumping June

I cant believe that June is going so fast! It seems like yesterday when I was in April and now I am approaching July? Where have months gone? I hate it when Months and years just sneak up on you like that! Speaking of years, it seemed like yesterday when I left the University...was wet behind the ears...now I am entering a new decade of life..
How time flies by so fast!

So what have I been upto since the last blog post. Alot of stuff! Okinawa feels like a pleasant dream. I am still in touch with alot of the wonderful people that I met over there. When you are on the internet chatting with someone from Samoa, the whole world just seems like my backyard! Yesterday, the last group of people that I met in Okinawa left for their respective countries. I know I am miles away but I felt depressed. I guess I know how they feel, leaving behind such a wonderful place and people. It is really ironical that on the one hand, one cant wait to get home while on the other, they are so sad.

I cant forget my turn. It is amazing how the 3 and a half months experience just crawls under your skin and you dont know how much you are affected until its time to say good bye! So I can imagine the build up of emotions and what they are going through. But thats life...you meet to part and meet some more wonderful people:)

How has my life been? Well, I am now settled in and operationalising my action plan. Though it is kinda difficult because I have all these job related tasks and competing priorities! But I know that I will work it out somehow.
I am so used to my Kampala and its dust. Today as I was coming to work and thought whimsically about how Kampala is a true definition of going from dust to dust! Is there a city more dusty than Kampala? Is there a city with more poor roads than Kampala?
Ok, let me not start on Kampala. Let me enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

    I'm so happy to see your update.
    I like your tone of writing.
    A New Zealander friend of mine read your essay in MTEC blog and she told me she likes it.
    Stay in blog and everywhere you established the connection with the world. I hope that I'm one of those.
