2 Months…
April 7, 2010 at 10:10 pm | Posted in Predeparture | 3 CommentsWhoa. 2 months. This is crazy. I had to update my PC password because the old one expired. Happy anniversary, I guess. One year later, I’m trying to figure out if I really need to bring that extra mosquito net, price hunting durable sandals, and wrapping my mind around packing 80 lbs and 2 years worth of life in 2 little packages.
In other news, classes end soon, then graduation. The graduation speaker: The president. Of the United States of America. Sorta like my future really-very-far-off boss will be talking to me and the mass of graduates. Pretty neat.
Cheers!

where did you find the translation for ‘christ is risen’ in moore? I’ve never run across the word ‘vuuga’ before, and thus will add it into my reperatoire. Good sleuthing. Also ‘sid sida’ is a nifty little phrase that can reinforce whatever was said just before it. Basically just means, ‘it’s true!’
The Christian culture here is pretty strong; I’d say Catholocism is the most prevalent, but there are a few Evangalist Churches, and another Protestant branch called the Assembly of God (they play A LOT of music….)
