Well I know it's been days since I've written anything, and there is a myriad of reasons for this. Firstly the start of this week was an absolute disaster, and if someone had said "Dee will we just order you a taxi to the airport?" I would probably be in Celbridge right now. I spent the whole day on Monday killing myself researching the Cameroonian education system for lots of reasons (and it's quite complicated so took a while to figure out and write...

Well it's been a hectic few days here, so I hope I can remember all that's happened. Well first of all, I'm in my house/room!!!! WOOHOO!!!! And I really like it!

When did I develop OCD??? Jerry update! I think that Jerry the mouse is currently sulking with me because I got rid of all of the fruit that was left that had been a source of constant enjoyment for my furry friend for the past six nights. There was much loud squeaking in what I’m assuming was mousy consternation last night for ages, and what I imagined to be prolonged disbelieving scratching as well.
