Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Hopefully you have all enjoyed it and the fun, friends, family, and food that comes with it.  I am sorry to miss seeing my friends and family, and of course eat such great food.  

This week has been no less busy than the last, just in a different manner.  If last week was the theory of university, this week was the practical.  Last week I was able to register for classes which fit according to the timetables I was able to pick up.  This week I experienced the power lecturers at Makerere University have.  Turns out they can come late, leave early, or not even show and students have little power to deal with this.  One of my classes has even changed times and to a Saturday!  I am still not sure why, rumor states it will change back in November.  There is five Europeans staying at Akamwesi Hostel who are in Social Sciences and we have been sharing advice and working together on these issues.  So I will be working on figuring out what to do; if I want to change courses to one that I know the timetable or stick it out with the course I wanted but am unsure of its future outlook. 

The weekend was the opposite, and was very simple and totally enjoyable.  Heading into the weekend the Uganda Football team, the Cranes, faced the Kenyan Stars in a must win game for Uganda.  The outcome would decide who ventured to the African Cup of Nations in 2012.  So of course I went, along with the five Europeans, one Kenyan, and two Ugandans.  We arrived at Namboole Stadium about four hours early to obtain good seats, which we did.  The crowd, even that early, was already pumped up for the match and showing it.  The match itself was truly African, with both teams fighting hard.  Sadly for Uganda the outcome was a draw which took away their hope of advancing to the African Cup.  Even with the outcome it was a fun event.

Sorry about the slowness of posts, I hope to be changing that.  Greetings to all.
