Home Away from Home

I just finished writing more papers than I can count. It's 11 pm and everyone around me is either freaking out about the 4 more papers they have left or crying because they don't want to go on our rural home stay. I, on the other hand, am really excited. I am excited about the challenge, whatever challenge comes with living in the bush for 10 days with no one I know and people who speak little English. I am exited to be away from technology and to be forced to be ok with being. I am excited to not have to worry about classes for the next 10 days. We will be in Soroti District in Eastern Uganda. It is seven hours from campus.

Speaking of campus. Since my mom has been asking me for pictures of campus, I thought I would leave you with pictures of my home away from home. The home I will be away from for the next 10 days.


This is my dorm. Winfred Brown Hall, although I spend most of my time in the dorm up the hill.

These are the basketball courts that I have been playing on a few nights a week. I love being able to shoot and relax.

This is where I eat rice and beans everyday!


















This is the library where I try to spend more times outside of than inside of!

















This is chapel!
