Umkashana uwakosa
Posted by anjasmith on May 11, 2009
I was so frustrated today with one of my finnish colleagues and with the director of the nursing school that my poor door took a really bad beating. when I tried closing it (you kind have to pull it quite hard if you want to lock it), the door handle broke off (the metal handle broke in half!)
sometimes…I scare even myself.
so no wonder they say to me in bemba: Nineno Umkashana uwakosa! (this girl is strong!)
above: me showcasing my little bemba-english dictionary. I keep my colleagues greatly entertained with my bemba anecdotes.
Updates: the handle on my door was repaired, and my papers are now finally in. The previous two days have been hell though. On tuesday evening I was so frustrated that I cried, and the next day I ran a fever and had to skip the day at the icu and spend it in bed. I thank my very finnish friends who cause me much pain and headaches for being so supportive and for putting up with my crap. seriously, te ootte aivan täynnää p…mutta kuitenkin ihania
