http://sixmonthsinkigali.blogspot.com/2009/01/its-gonna-take-lot-to-drag-me-away-from.html
Friday, January 9, 2009. It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. I'm not even remotely ready for this. I had to physically remove myself from my laptop the other morning to avoid applying for a 12-month position here in Kigali. I know I need to go 'home'. The problem is that I. When my flight to Kilimanjaro just before Christmas took off, I felt this overwhelming, heady sense of. When you can live. I didn't realise this was going to hurt so much.

Six Months in Kigali: June 2008
http://sixmonthsinkigali.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2008. So I've been here for three days, and so far, so good. The people are all really neat- the more they talk about their internships the more I keep thinking "Hey, I want to go back to school to study that. Will be arriving. I'm really excited for that, because these are people actually doing the work that all of us want to do. I had a great (and LONG! Okay Day Two of Intercultural Learning. Here's hoping. Links to this post. Saturday, June 21, 2008. Links to this post. And so the ...

Six Months in Kigali: July 2008
http://sixmonthsinkigali.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2008. Un jour a Kigali. Funny how one day can go back and forth from good to bad to great. We briefly had enough water this morning to flush, one and a half times. We also got home from Claire's house to find a refridgerator (! So I was optimistic heading to the bus park, although I shouldn't have been. I've had bad bus luck as of late and have revoked my "superstar" status. On Tuesday, I waited. An hour and a half. I got to talk to my mum and Leah today! As I'm making supper tonight (...

Six Months in Kigali: too little time
http://sixmonthsinkigali.blogspot.com/2009/01/too-little-time.html
Monday, January 26, 2009. Not too little time left here. Well, that too. But too little time to blog. I have all these great things to write about. But no time. So I'll make a list, and I'll get to them sooner or later. Moto accidents (not me, thankfully, and she's alright, even more thankfully). Music on the bus. Friends I've made (maybe with pictures). And something else I bet I forgot. Maybe I'll wait til I get back to Canada (I leave in 5 days, pretty much. Eek). February 10, 2009 at 8:01 PM. In whic...

Six Months in Kigali: in which i decide that coming home will be okay
http://sixmonthsinkigali.blogspot.com/2009/01/in-which-i-decide-that-coming-home-will.html
Sunday, January 25, 2009. In which i decide that coming home will be okay. By this time next week, I will have my feet firmly on Canadian soil. I can't even begin to believe that my time in Rwanda is coming to an end. but I've resigned myself to going back home. To see the people I love, the people I'm coming home for. To eat good food. To shower, in hot water, every day. I hate when people write about. But God. back to *Canada*? Am I completely f* *ing crazy? I think it is inapropriet. View my complete ...

Six Months in Kigali: December 2008
http://sixmonthsinkigali.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 18, 2008. A non-Africa topic (partially). Breaking away from my usual range of snippets of life in Rwanda for a minute, because today is a momentous occasion. Big girl turned 5 today. I cannot believe I am the mother of a five year old child. Not a baby, not a toddler, not a preschooler. A real, honest-to-goodness. How on earth did this happen? Back to Africa. I am off to Tanzania tomorrow morning (Rwandair, I do not need to be at the airport at 5am. really! Links to this post. That ba...

Six Months in Kigali: October 2008
http://sixmonthsinkigali.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2008. Until I have time to write my version of last Sunday's tree-planting extravaganza, here's what Kigali's New Times. Five University graduates from Canada currently interning with several organisations in Kigali on Sunday fulfilled their pledge of planting 500 cypress trees. Before leaving their homeland in July, the Canadian group made a pact to directly offset the carbon emissions from their air travel by planting trees in their respective host countries. 8220;In fact, a running...

Six Months in Kigali: The things they carry
http://sixmonthsinkigali.blogspot.com/2009/01/things-they-carry.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2009. The things they carry. Babies, from the teeny newborns nestled in tightly to toddlers big enough to trot unsteadily on their own two legs struggling to escape. Tiny feet sticking out over mothers' hips, toes wiggling. On heads (cushioned with a banana leaf ring):. Baskets of produce, off to the market. Huge 100 kilograms bags of rice, flour, wheat. Branches of huge green bananas. Jerrycans of milk, water, or petrol. Hoes, shovels and saws. Anything you'd carry on your head.

Six Months in Kigali: November 2008
http://sixmonthsinkigali.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 27, 2008. Thanksgiving, Take Two. Today's best part of being an expat: we got to celebrate American Thanksgiving, because one of Logan's new roommates is from the States and was missing home. Delicious, delicious, delicious. Links to this post. Friday, November 21, 2008. That while we breathe, we hope. I spent most of the night of November 4. And the early morning of November 5. This was something big. Would his inexperience count against him? 8221; I have never welcomed an early morni...
