Sorry it's been so long since my last blog, but internet is being stubborn in Kabale, and I haven't been able to access it long enough to complete one. But not I'm in Soroti, which is in eastern Uganda, visiting the other volunteers who are on the completely opposite side of the country from where I live, approximately 18 hours by bus if you wanted to go straight from one to the other. Uganda is such a small country, but apparently it takes forever to cross it.
Here is quite different from Kabale, as it is hot and dry and very dusty. Right now I am the color of the roads because I'm so gross and dirty, but hopefully that will change after I bathe a bit later today. You never know though, because this dirt is pretty tricky, and can stick with you for days or even weeks.
I just was in Kampala this week for our midservice conference, which marks one year of our Peace Corps service. It's an exciting landmark, and now I feel like our group is on the downhill slide of this thing and very soon we'll be finished. It's crazy, I never thought I would feel like my time here was short, but 2 years goes incredibly fast when ... well I'm not exactly sure why the 2 years is going fast, but I'm reading a lot of books and learning how to sit still and stare at the wall for hours at a time. Silences being awkward? Doesn't exist here.
Anyway, I've been hogging another volunteer's computer for awhile now, and its time to pass it on and share with others. See mom? I did learn something from you.

Hi!
I just accepted my Uganda invite (the August group). I was wondering if there was anything that you packed that you didn't need and anything that you wished you had brought but didn't. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! I'm not a very good packer :)
Thanks,
Sara
