Hakuna matata kwa mimi. No worries for me. Friday, February 1, 2013. 8220;Happy New Year! 8221;] :D I know it has been a long while since my last blog post, but hopefully I can update you on everything that has unfolded in my life. This’ll be a bit of a doozy! If you don’t want to read everything, I have a TL;DR for those that like it dry and uninteresting. The past eight months –. Holy mackerel, I’ve been here that long? I went to my very first Tanzanian wedding in mid-December! Streams of Form II (beca...

Hakuna matata kwa mimi. No worries for me. Tuesday, September 16, 2014. The most difficult part of a Peace Corps service is ending it…. Don’t worry, contrary to what the title of this post is called, this will not be my last post, but it will be my last post in Tanzania, as I am currently at the Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam. A few big things have happened the last few weeks (chronological order):. I taught my last class. Steve and I had a going away party at my house. Beth Behren...

Hakuna matata kwa mimi. No worries for me. Tuesday, September 25, 2012. One of the biggest days of your life is the day you graduate. That doesn’t change when you are a student in Tanzania either. Today I attended the graduation of the Form IV students of Mwatisi Secondary School. I can definitely say that it was ENTIRELY different than any graduation I had ever been to in the states, both high school and university – and believe me, I have been to MANY graduation ceremonies just this past year! There wa...

Hakuna matata kwa mimi. No worries for me. Wednesday, July 16, 2014. The past couple of months have been riddled with goodbyes. It all started with COS (Close of Service) Conference in May in Dar. Although it’s not the. Goodbye to everyone, it is the last time our whole class is together in one place. Unfortunately, there may be a few people that I might not see again, not even when we are back in America (or wherever people end up). :(. And it’s true – I will miss everyone. Including those who were no l...

hakuna matata kwa mimi: October 2012
http://belleofafrica.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Hakuna matata kwa mimi. No worries for me. Saturday, October 27, 2012. I have always loved science because it is all around us, and I mean, I. Major in Chemical Engineering after all, but I had never realize how much work it was to ‘simulate’ or singlehandedly prepare a full week of lab practicals for over 30 students at a time. 8230; Biology’s prep on Wednesday was very quick, entailing the making labels for each specimen (marked by letters) and making sure each work bench had enough of each. ...And as ...

Hakuna matata kwa mimi. No worries for me. Saturday, September 28, 2013. PART MBILI – Surprises and Warm Hearts. After traveling with my family for over a week now and seeing so many different animals and expensive places I would never visit on my own while in the Peace Corps, I thought I knew what to expect when we were on our most safi leg of our trip – I extrapolated. But boy, was I wrong! We rose bright and early the next. We saw some more hyenas and lions, including once large male sitting on a.

Hakuna matata kwa mimi. No worries for me. Friday, May 31, 2013. This year, there are four of us selected – one for each science subject and one A-Level person. Biology – Ryan Early. Chemistry/Physics – me. Chemistry/Physics – Ben Savonen (aka my brother). A-Level – Willie Blackmon (Physics). What a great group, right? Note: Shika is basically a formal excuse for me to be incredibly nerdy, while still being educational at the same time. Though apparently, it. So here’s the rundown of the itinerary ...

Hakuna matata kwa mimi. No worries for me. Friday, October 4, 2013. PART TATU – New, New, New. Still pumped with adrenaline from the Obama visit, I knew I. Could not, would not. The stomach issues were definitely better (not quite great), but a new symptom cropped up after I got my flu shot. I. To coax the Peace Corps Medical Officers (PCMOs) to exempt me from it, or at least wait to get it after Week Zero, because I knew that every time I’ve gotten the flu vaccine before, I would always. Every year mess...

Hakuna matata kwa mimi. No worries for me. Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Time is such an interesting concept. It isn’t linear and it always seems to fly by at different rates, especially here in Africa. I hadn’t even realized that it had been almost two months since my last blog post, but I. Aware that a lot has happened since October. But let’s see…where to start so I can fill in the gaps of the Peace Corps Tanzanian fabric of time? As usual [“kama kawa”], I feel the need to supplement the s...It felt j...
