So classes are somewhat back in session today. I'm supposed to meet with my professors to set up new class times. Some of them will be quick intensives others like my textile class will sun weekly for the rest of the semester. I'm only here 27 more days so it isn't too terribly important how many classes I get in. As of now it won't be many.
I returned to campus Sunday afternoon after spending the weekend away. I went to Morogoro then to the beach. It was a relaxing weekend and I ate well. I've discovered that I travel on my stomach most of the time. If I know I'll get fed well, I'm there! i had the best lasagna I've had in a long time besides my own.
Coming home I was greeted by a closet full of spiders and a return case of the mildew/fungus. My suitcase contracted a growth in transit. I though I had eradicated it but apparently not. I'll be spending a large part of tonight cleaning out my closet and killing bugs.
Take care and keep your eyes peeled for a new set of posts about Morogoro to be coming soon!

Post Blog Update:
I met with several of my professors so far - 3 of 4. They want to cram a semester's worth of material into 2 weeks. Intensives with each of them. My workload just skyrocketed. The nice part is my classes are small so I can ask questions. The hard part is that I have to be very prepared since in most cases there are fewer than 5 of us to generate the discussion after the lecture.
This has put a huge wrench in my plans to deliver the cows and goats to the boma as well as meet with the village leaders where I was hoping to help with the maternity ward construction next week as I have an exam scheduled for Monday. Grrrrr! I'm feeling a teeny bit of stress as all of this is mounting on top of my paper. I'm pretty far along in it but there is still lots to do.
