It's Friday
so today we had the entire afternoon off, which i highly enjoyed. took a little adventure to boma by foot, shopped around some stores and got a few supplies, including these amazing little cookies from mr. price (the local supermarket which is about the size of a small gas station). these days it doesn't feel nearly as strange to me to go to boma and walk around by myself. after learning some of the prices, i can tell what things should cost and if i'm being charged more than i should. this comforting to know.guess how much a haircut costs? just thinking about that question - i'll answer near the end of this post.
a couple of things happened today: 1.) a classmate's father-in-law passed away. so he is on his way home to take care of his family and prepare for the funeral. 2.) the students who have not completed paying for their school fees have been asked to go to their homes this weekend and return with the money. because of this, many of my fellow dormmates are not around this evening.
beginning on sunday our dts class will be joining with the dts class of arusha ywam for the entire week. i'm really looking forward to it for many reason. they offer margarine for the morning bread! that's great, but there's more: they have warm showers (if you get up early enough - which you can guarantee that i will!) they also have many english speakers in their class, so it will be a treat. (tho i'm still struggling w/ the language, i'm learning little by little, and i'm not nearly as frustrated by the difference any more.)
i'm beginning to work on my april newsletter, so hopefully tomorrow i'll have some time to finish it. it's a good one.
ok, what amount have you decided is a good cost for a hair cut? the going rate around here for a haircut is 500 Tanzania Shillings which equals about 45 cents. yep, that's right - 45 cents. the haircut will give you a buzz with the trimmer. (don't worry: i've not shaved off my hair yet, but i'm getting closer to that everyday.)
the last 4 days our water level has been really low so i've been having to bathe from a bucket. that's not my favorite thing to do, but i'm grateful that we at least have some water we can use for bathing. the combination of having long hair and washing it in a bucket doesn't work very well for me. i'm still in need to some learning on how to get all the soap out of my hair.

Tanya, don't put very much soap in your hair! Hang in there....those spit baths won't last forever! Love ya, Patsy
Hey, Don't shave your head, don't wash your hair everyday. If you can get your hands on some white powder (baby powder) just put that in your hair and let it sit for a minute and brush it out, it's like you have washed your hair. It's and old trick but it works.
