Things I've done in Africa that I never though I'd do:
- Download Daily Shows from the internet every week
- Send a computer for repair to the states
- Have the same computer completely die a year later
- Travel… only not as a tourist, as a computer guy, as a teacher, and as a friend
- Get impatient; I thought I’d master this, but alas…
- Abandon my long admired work ethic for the “just try and show up” method
- Cheer out loud as a cloud temporarily covers the sun
- Eat crocodile, ostrich, warthog, donkey and dog
- Grow out my hair
- Forget I’m white
- Forget I’m American
- Want to stay
- Want to leave
- See death, hopelessness and apathy everywhere
- Find youth who are pretty much just like the youth in the States; ready for adventure, caught up in gossip and romance, trying to maintain a small amount of concern for education and the future
