quick update

I've arrived in Ssembabule! We got here yesterday afternoon, and I was able to meet the staff here, who were all really nice and welcoming - they even had dinner waiting for us! Luckily the electricity was on last night, so I could unpack with the help of light. It felt good to kind of sort my stuff out and figure out where things are. The office is nicer than I expected it to be - although the town of Ssembabule is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, the office itself is on a street in town and it's actually noisy around here most of the time. I'm sharing a room with Jess, and we have a curtained-off area that has a shower head, but the shower hasn't worked in a while, so that's where we'll take bucket baths, brush our teeth, do our laundry, and whatnot. The pit latrines are just around the corner, within the whole office/volunteer room complex. Yes, I know, pit latrines sound awful, but they're really not THAT bad, and they don't even smell. I'm ust going to develop incrediby toned thighs from squatting all the time. I'll post pictures of the office and my room when I can, but the internet here most likely isn't strong enough to handle tht task. Last night I slept through the entire night for the first time since arriving in Uganda, which is a thrill. I even slept in this morning! Today we spent almost the entire day in our room - there isn't much to do here on the weekends. I alternated between reading books and celeb magazines that a friend of Jess' mailed to her. Tonight we ventured out of the office to go get a rolex for dinner - a rolex is a omlette (egg and veggies) rolled up in chapatti (kind of like a flatbread, tortilla type thing), and it was really good. Hurray for street food!
