Today's just one of those those days that does not seem to be going right.
I had a skirmish with a caller earlier on and I'm trying to upload my christmas pictures and blogger keeps on telling me "Bad Request 404"!!
Aside from that, I upgraded to Firefox 2.0.1 (I think?) and it's giving me attitude. It keeps on popping up several windows and then hangs and then I can't do anything. I've uninstalled and re- installed Firefox three times already!! And I love it so much, it hurts :) :) :( :(
I do those things that deal with computers, but sometimes, I just can't figure it out!
Then, the wireless up here is not working so am down in one of the labs trying to console myself reading National Geographic and looking at shoes.
So, this day.........................
When's it ending???

So I'm back in the world of assignments, deadlines and lecturers who can't pronounce my name right!! Plus, also them that cut lectures!! Today was a prime example. There's this highly intelligent, laid- back guy who's supposed to be taking me in a programming unit. Well, today, he didn't turn up. So as the Faculty Representative in my class, I decided to text him to find out if he was coming. He calls me back and says, we'll start next week. Typical laid- back fashion!!
Come lunch time, I receive a phone call from a lady who wanted to know who I am and why I was sending text messages to that number!!! I started stammering, This Musoga probably knows that look so well and I explained to the lady caller why I'd sent that message. So she tells me to listen carefully, then she goes "I don't want you sending text meaasges to this phone and to my husband". Scared is an understatement of the reaction that this lady gave me!!
Atleast I will not be sending messages to that number again. That, am sure of.

On a lighter note, I was watching re- runs of Sex and the City last night, Season 6 which is really full of Charlotte's attempts at becoming a Jew in order to get married to a nice guy. Well, she succeeded. The amusing thing was the episode where she'd made the Sabbath meal and Harry comes home and is more interested in the football game going on. So she throws it on him- the language lessons, the conversion classes, the time spent to make the meal... Name it, she did it all.
It reminded me, how This Musoga would tease me about my not knowing Luganda, wondering how I'd cope when I went to his house. As he put it, "Luganda's like the national language at home". So far, my efforts at learning this language, I think, are commendable. Except, I forget the words just as fast as I learn them!! Plus, I think I've survived so far.....
On Tuesday morning, in my hall, I met one of the ladies that comes around to help with the washing. She greeted me nicely, called me by my name, but for the love of God, I simply couldnot remember how to answer her back, in LUGANDA!! I just smiled at her.
It seems one month at home erased the little I picked up!!
This Musoga should recommend the text books they used to use in Budo for the language. On my part, I'll recommend a site where he can learn mine!!
