Day 32: Progress!

Sunday was pretty boring but I’m so happy because I’m making headway with my thesis (Culminating Experience). One of the TASO staff downloaded SPSS (statistical software) onto the work laptops for me! God Bless him. I have entered all of my data in there and even made like 12 graphs today. I have a couple more analyses to run and then I can get right into discussing the results. I already know many of the point I’m going to be writing and I plan to have a complete draft done in the next few weeks. I feel so great that I know I’ll be getting this damn thing over and done with this summer. J

Also its confirmed that on July 4th (this coming Saturday) I’m going to go to Jinja and go white water rafting on the Nile! I’ve never done anything like this so I’m sure it will be an experience and I’ll have lots of fun! Also another GW student who’s in Jinja wants to have a BBQ to celebrate July 4th even though we’re in Uganda. It should be a good time!

Two random comments:



1. In addition to Nigerian movies we watch Telemundo soap operas that have been dubbed in English and are all the rave in Uganda. My favorite is called El Cuerpo Deseo (Second Chance). They are very funny and actually quite addicting.



2. I want to go to South Africa next year for FIFA 2010 World Cup. They are always showing soccer here and it seems like it would be so much fun to go. Maybe for like a week or so and a couple games sounds good. Imma try and recruit you people to come with me….you’ve been warned… lol
