Not so not Serious stuff

Apparently, when I signed up for this job, the job discription didn't say anything about me participating in zzzzzzzzzzzor working as an electrician, or working as a design engineer or getting involve with business deals or acting as a PR person. All it say was teach the staff computer skills. Well, I am about 3 weeks into my lessons and tings are going well....ok. I am getting complains that I am moving too fast with the pace of these lessons. but c'mon one 45mins lesson a week. and I got some 40 people who want to learn. OH yeah the thing about Africans and Ugandans are they can;'t take much initiative to learn or practice things themselves. GUess that the oppressive educ ation system they have all grew up with. There are some who are curious and will take it upon themselves but the majority would attend class and learn for that lesson but even put their new skills in practice which means that no matter how much I teach it will be a futile attempt at education. I need to find some thing to teach that they can use...hmmmm


Well, some good news for once...I guess someone heard my cries for sending a donation. I just got news that some good kind soul donated 100$ to my fundrasing efforts for VSO Canada. I hate the idea of personal fundraising, even if its for a third party organization and not myself personally, my name is still be ing use. Oh well, I guess I ;ll just be donating my end of services grant to the fundraising. Then again, the Stipend they VSO are paying me here is just collecting interest. LIving inthe forest and away from civilization means I got not way of blowing my money and my accomodation and meal are all paid for here so I am practically seating on the money they give me. Oh yeah 250$CDN a month....whooppeee....but here in Uganda, a medical officier gets paid more than t...at...i think so lucky for me.

The riots in Kenya are subsiding, not sure how much fuel is now, but again, living a forest and not much to do, I have cut myself from the outside. Apart from popping my head out at the online chat world on occasions.

OH yeah....about my extra circucular activities. I was so lucky to have joined a few zzzzzzzzzz the guidance of one Dr . Scott Kellermann. Minor stuff, but for someone who wishes to make a crack at med. school or a career in the medical field, so awesome. Many in med school already would say that surgery gets boring after awhile, but me....nay!!!...I can do that for a career. It's like fixing machine, a blend of art and engineering and mechanics and medicine. right up my alley.!!!
