Final THREE...TROIS...SAN...3-3-3

Oh la la…
I have 3 days of school left☺ I am SO happy…yet nervous…yet anxious…I’m going to have my BACHELORS☺YIPEE YIPEE

Next Friday (May 4th) I take off to Pittsburgh, PA where I will attend my outbound training for Rotary. We are going to learn what it’s like to live in a different country! (Chuckle)

Right now I am in the middle of final projects and allergy season. (It is absolutely beautiful here this time of the year; the dogwoods and cherry trees are all in full bloom)

Tomorrow I am presenting my project for my environmental ethics class. I get to talk about what it was like to be a vegetarian for a month. I am going to pass out vegetarian recipes and take in snacks for everyone to try☺

PBS Volunteering

On Saturday night a group of students and teachers from Penn State went downtown to the local PBS station (WHYY) and answered phones from 7-11pm. I remember as a child I would see the volunteers answering the phones and think that it was really neat! Well it was...having the girls there with me was a total riot:) We met the DJ for the local radio station...and I told him that he woke me up every morning...and I dreaded it when he said, "it's 7:00"!!
One of the girls dressed up like Curious George and of course the Knittany Lion was there (Penn State Mascot). During the show one of the men asked where we were all from. I explained that I was from Canada and when we were on air again he told everyone that they needed to call in and talk to me because I came all the way from Canada just to answer the phones! Then he said if you want you can even pledge in French!
It was a lot of fun and nice to get out with everyone--especially after working so diligently on my Service Exchange all those months.

OH CONTACT!

Well...What a lovely Sunday it is!!!:)

I came back from Yoga all relaxed this morning and had an e-mail from a head professor at Makerere who just happens to be a Rotarian! He is getting my application shoved into the right hands! YEAH! and he also had this to say about my language questions:

"The perception of Swahili in part of Uganda is still negative, but it is being formally re-introduced through schools. Swahili is certainly the commonest language in Tanzania and Kenya, and it reaches into Rwanda, Burundi and eastern Zaire. It would say it is a very useful language to learn. It is taught at the Makerere Institute of languages."

Yeah Baby! I think that answers my question...and Swahili it is!
