Details and such, Day 3

This is the rooster that was in our lobby yesterday morning. It crowed from about 5-6 am. Big fun, huh?

It's early Monday morning, so it's still Sunday night in AZ. I start classes today. My class schedule, that I know so far is:
Faith and Action in the Ugandan Context: Monday, 2-2:55; Friday, 8:30-10:25
African Literature: Monday, 3;3:55; Wednesday, 2-3:55
Christian Ethics: Tuesday, 2-3:55
Introduction to the New Testament: Wednesday, 11-12:55
I also have a class called African Christianity and I don't know yet when that one is. Also, a couple of my classes also require small group meetings called tutorials and I don't know when those will be. And I have Community Worship (chapel) on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12-1. That's basically my schedule. Some other random things I wanted to tell you all, in no particular order:
-There's a bird's nest in my window, outside the screen. There are also a lot of birds around our dorm and they're quite loud.
-My roommate and I each have a fairly short bunk bed set with a mosquito net draped over it. We both sleep on the bottom bunk, so we use he top bunks to put stuff on. It's pretty cool.
-Our showers only have cold water. Also, I have to shower every day because being gross and dirty isn't culturally acceptable. So every day I take a (hopefully) less than 5-minute freezing cold shower. It's fantastic.
-Mukono is the nearest town, it's about a 10-minute walk. I went down there yesterday with a bunch of the other USP students. It was pretty cool. Kampala is the capital and a big city. It's about an hour drive. We're going down there on Friday.
-My room has one outlet and it's pretty funky looking so we have to use an adapter to charge anything.
-There are big grasshopper bugs living in our bathroom. I've seen one both times I've showered so far and last night when I brushed my teeth too.
-The food here isn't too exciting. I've had rice and beans at every meal so far. It's not gross, and it's filling. We also had sweet potatoes with one meal and posho with a couple. I don't know how to describe posho. You might be able to look it up. It's basically flour and water mixed together It's really bland.
-A lot of th Ugandan students here are early risers, at about 5-6 am. The walls in our dorm are also very thin and a lot of things like doors and plumbing and such is very noisy.
-People here are really into football (aka soccer). There was a game on last night and everyone was in the cafeteria watching. Most of them are fans of Manchester United. I was in there for about 2 hours for dinner and Manchester scored 3 goals. I couldn't see the score on the screen at all, but that was my decision based on the cheering for aforementioned goals.
-The guys here are really friendly. The woman are too, but they're more reserved. The guys come and sit with us at a lot of them meals and they know a lot of the USP guys already. It's pretty cool. A couple of them walked to town with us yesterday and showed us around and such. They try really hard to learn our names and I don't think I really know any of theirs.
-Muzugno means white person in one of the languages here. I've heard it a few times. It's not really offensive, just a term for white people.
-The dirt here is red and it gets everywhere. My bag is already red on the bottom and so are a couple pairs of shoes that I've worn so far. I'm wearin a white short today and I hope it lasts.
-The conversion rate for money is about 1800 shillings to the dollar, so everything sounds really expensive but it's not.
-On my phone I can assign images to my contacts. it's really cool. Rusty's a spaceship. Charlotte's a cat. My mom is a woman face. I haven't added Becky yet but she's going to be a butterfly, I think. My dad is a man face with glasses.

I think that's all I have for now. I like it here so far, despite any complaining you may perceive above. I'm going to try and make it through today without a nap though. Wish me luck! Vaya con Dios.
