Go time

I am finally online, and I am so glad that I was patient! Today I found an internet chord for myself. The price: 10 pula, or $1.52. That is to say, I paid 1o pula for an ethernet chord of 3 meters in length when the lowest price anyone else has found (and paid) so far was 80P or $12.14. I feel pretty good about that. So now the chord, combined with the plug adapters I spent all day yesterday to find, means that I am now good-to-go internet-wise. It's a fantastic feeling.

I am learning a lot here, and having a lot of fun. So far I love it, but I really do wish that things would get moving. My roommate hasn't even moved in yet, and the registration isn't working, so I have not yet been able to register for classes, which were supposed to start on Monday, but probably won't now until Wednesday. Se la vie.

But I continue to be thankful for everything that my experience in Zambia taught me, because I am coping way better than almost every international student I've noticed on almost every aspect of life here. The only thing I wish is that there were more people who like to spend their evenings in than to spend their evenings getting drunk. But at least these people are still excited to go out with me during the day to find and see things.

Well, this evening I have written several emails, updated both my blogs, and chatted with my sister, so I think I'm all pooped out for typing. Catch you later!
