Saying Goodbye

Posted by anjasmith on June 19, 2009

This will be my last post written from this little internet café here in Lusaka. On Sunday I leave for my holiday in South Africa, where I will probably spend most of my time doing transcriptions of my interviews. 

The interviews went well, although I did not manage to get 8 interviews, as there were not that many teachers that fit the criteria of the study, but I’m grateful for the 5 that I managed to get.

So now, I’m busy frantically doing last minute stuff, like getting my assessment forms filled and signed, saying goodbye to all the lovely people that helped me here, and last of my biggest worries…packing! argh…I really really hope that I don’t have overweight.

trying not to cry. Sorry in advance if I’m going to be in a bad mood for the next three days.

Anyway, Zambia has not seen the last of me. I’LL BE BACK!!!!! Mwuaahahahahahahaha.

scrubbed upThis is me in the Operating Room, or as it is known in Zambia: Operating theatre. The procedure I’m scrubbed for is a tracheostomy.

Nshima and chicken, traditional zambian foodI’m totally going to miss Zambian food! (which tastes best when using your fingers)

Health Tip: Avoid using unwashed hands to eat your food in Zambia.
