First week of work in the books

Today was the completion of our first week in Tororo, Uganda! The work day was the same as every other, except for the general staff meeting that started off the day. I was a little lost since I am still learning what everyone does, but in general I thought it went well. Other than the meeting I worked on the same thing I've been working on all week. My computer gave me fewer troubles with the server, and I think I figured how how to fix some of the issues without having to restart my computer.

After work I read for bit and talked to my mom and sister on the phone. It was also pouring out, which apparently means that the town of Tororo shuts down their power system to avoid any kind of short. My phone died mid conversation, and because the power was off I couldn't recharge so I went back to reading. Joan and I also decided to go to the Crystal Hotel for dinner and I got tomato soup and the closest thing to a grilled cheese I've seen here. Not as delicious as I would make at home, but still good. I also got a chapati to take home and smothered it in Nutella for dessert. So yummy! I will definitely be doing that more often. We watched a little bit of some Japanese ninja warrior competition show at the hotel before heading back. It was nuts and so funny. 

The walk back from dinner was kind of weird because all the street lights were out even though the power was back on. Luckily we had our head lights, but I don't think I'll be going out after dark when the power is out again anytime soon. For now I am just excited to sleep in and rest for the first time in a while over the weekend!
