Hello, Uganda: September 2009
http://philinuganda.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 30. So Kevina says if I whistle at night, I am calling the ancestors to come visit me. This is a bad visit. The rest of the family members also confirmed this tradition. However, none of my ancestors visited me last night, so I know that this aspect of ATR is not entirely accurate. I've been reading more of the Qur'an again, so I am excited to give a presentation next week on East African missionary relations with Muslims. I don't know what kind of info I will find. After that I am g...

Hello, Uganda: African Bush Harp pt. II
http://philinuganda.blogspot.com/2009/12/african-bush-harp-pt-ii.html
Thursday, December 3. African Bush Harp pt. II. Last night I was playing the adungu like always and I asked Suzan if she knew the English word for it, which is "African Bush Harp." Then Suzan asked why the term "bush" was included. I told her because it is a primitive instrument created by the mindless people of backward cultures. She laughed.

Hello, Uganda: First Post from the US
http://philinuganda.blogspot.com/2009/12/first-post-from-us.html
Thursday, December 17. First Post from the US. Man, I have a lot of days, events, and thoughts to document. I'll do with what I can remember. Here we go. Friday - the End. As I was browsing the photos, taking tea, and collecting the small payment I requested for the clothes, she exclaimed out loud, "Wow! Who am I that you would come to visit me? Suzan and I spent much of the remaining day together. Suzan cooked me delicious cassava fried with tomatoes. What a good cook, among other things! We arrived tha...

Hello, Uganda: August 2009
http://philinuganda.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 28. First Post from Uganda. Including time zone changes, we traveled more than an entire day to get to Uganda. On one plane, the flight attendant woke me up and called me Clint Eastwood, which made me pretty happy, because out of all things that have the potential to reverse my sexual orientation, I would have to say Clint Eastwood is number one (relax, I'm trying to be funny). Weather has been wonderful. Rain is light and occasional, not lasting too long (locals wish there was more du...

Hello, Uganda: Jet Lag
http://philinuganda.blogspot.com/2009/12/jet-lag.html
Saturday, December 19. I got up around 6 AM this morning, which is good because I got to run into the various members of Jeremy's family as they are much earlier risers than teenagers who play music. The past few days have been slightly rough on my body. Two nights ago I only wanted to sleep for 3 hours. Jet Lag is still there. We have a performance in Lemoyne/Harrisburg on Tuesday. It's gonna be great, and the music these guys have created is amazing. I wouldn't trade it for another sound. I...Everythin...

Hello, Uganda: Braided Hair
http://philinuganda.blogspot.com/2009/12/braided-hair.html
Wednesday, December 9. Yesterday they started to braid my hair. I sat on a mat from 8 AM to 3 PM and three people worked on it. They are about halfway done. Dreadlocks are much more painful, though these still aren't the most comfortable to sleep on. This morning was the last time we will see Papa, unless Dean or I return to the country. God willing we will return sometime. Today I am going back to the salon for them to (hopefully) finish my hair. It's weird not being able to wash hair when showering.

Hello, Uganda: I aced that jank
http://philinuganda.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-aced-that-jank.html
Monday, December 7. I aced that jank. So I just had exams straight from 9 AM to 3 PM. Not fun on the wrist. Lots of objective, short answer, matching, and then of course four essays total with many points and sub-points to be made. First was Old Testament from 9-12. Easier than I thought. I studied a decent amount. Wrote essays about the Decalogue's purpose today and modern lessons from Hosea. So here's the outline for the coming week:. Friday - no plan. Probably hang out with Suzan for the last day.

Hello, Uganda: November 2009
http://philinuganda.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30. Second-to-last Weekend at Home. Today was kind of low-key. First I woke up and finished my Pluralism paper for ATR class, knocking out all duties for two of my five classes. Next, I washed clothes outside. Then I played adungu for a little. We played the peace core next, who were very tall and last years champions. We slaughtered them 10-5 or something like that. Then we were tired and barely lost our next game. That night I was very sore. Suzan, Dean, and I were all exhausted. So in...

Hello, Uganda: Last Visit Home
http://philinuganda.blogspot.com/2009/12/last-visit-home.html
Saturday, December 5. The ride out of Muyenga was bumpy and my headache that had been minor throughout the day was increasing. When we reached the giant taxi park, I was hot and uncomfortable because the legs of my boxers kept getting twisted and creeping up my leg. How annoying. December 7, 2009 at 3:00 PM.
