http://jeremyshea.blogspot.com/2009/05/end-approaches.html
The (sometimes) exciting life of Jeremy. Weekly updates on Jeremy's semester abroad in Gaborone, Botswana. Pictures and video forthcoming. Tuesday, May 5, 2009. In 9 days time, I will be boarding a plane and flying back to the olde USA. But that's the future, we're on the past now. On that note, here's a myth (myths involve some sort of divinity while folktales do not) that I found interesting. The Moon, it is said, sent once an Insect to Men, saying: “Go thou to Men, and tell them, ‘As I die...There wil...

Lisa in Botswana: Easter on the beach
http://botswanamama.blogspot.com/2009/04/easter-on-beach.html
Short stories from my recent travels. Easter on the beach. Mozambique, here I come. The (sometimes) exciting life of Jeremy. Tuesday, April 14. Easter on the beach. I got back from Mozambique yesterday at about 8:00 pm It was one of the best Easter weekends I’ve ever had! I have now been to four African countries! I wrote this entry on a computer in the UB library. When my Macbook decides to turn back on, I will certainly put pictures up. There are pictures of Maputo. If you have any questions about my t...

Lisa in Botswana: Mozambique, here I come

Short stories from my recent travels. Easter on the beach. Mozambique, here I come. The (sometimes) exciting life of Jeremy. Tuesday, April 7. Mozambique, here I come. UB students have a four-day weekend for Easter! Three CIEE friends and I are going to Mozambique, the country on Africa’s east coast on the Indian Ocean. When we went to pick up our visas/passports at the Mozambican High Commission today, it was a bit of an ordeal. We were told to come pick them up today despite it being Women's Day. The e...

Lisa in Botswana: And the countdown begins
http://botswanamama.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-computer-wont-turn-on-again.html
And the countdown begins. The (sometimes) exciting life of Jeremy. Sunday, May 3. And the countdown begins. My computer won't turn on again. That's why there's been so much time between my last post and this one. Here's what's happened since Mozambique:. I was in a group that performed a folk tale in my African Oral Narratives class. I had four lines in Setswana. I had the role of one of two jealous sisters. Classes ended on Thursday. I took three Setswana finals on Thursday: two oral and one written.

Lisa in Botswana: Nostalgia's setting in
http://botswanamama.blogspot.com/2009/05/nostalgias-setting-in.html
And the countdown begins. The (sometimes) exciting life of Jeremy. Saturday, May 9. Yesterday a lot happened that was very typical of my experiences in Botswana. It was like a culture cluster - some things that I never got used to and some that no longer phase me at all. Staff to ward off proposals and men in general. But that really didn’t ward off anything at all. Setswana culture allows for promiscuity and my being white trumps Batswana men’s morals. We went to Bimbo’s, a fast food place, for lu...
