Life goes on, and on.

So, I think the title pretty much is self explanatory. Life just goes on.

Things have been almost entirely quiet in the last couple of weeks. That said, tomorrow is Museveni's inauguration after he won the last elections in February. Honestly, if there's ever a time that people are really justified in protesting or even rioting, it would be tomorrow (not that I condone violence tomorrow, and I do hope no on will riot). Museveni has spent four billion shillings (2 million dollars) on his inauguration, while the people protest because inflation rates are so high and though no one talks about it, people still starve. And yet Museveni spends this much. It's really sad.

To make it all worse, after the last riots Besigye (the main opposition) was injured to some extent, and he had to fly to Nairobi for treatment. He was supposed to come back this morning, but he was pulled off his flight and it is not quite clear why. After that he was supposed to leave at 5:30 pm but the plane left without him. So, there are some people blaming the government, but no riots, so that's good.

With Museveni's inauguration, tomorrow is a public holiday. Thank goodness. In the next few weeks I have exams and several other things going on. After this week we only have five weeks of school left. Yay!

I'm still on crutches... but I can put weight on my foot and walk on it a little bit as long as I use the crutches too. The doctor says that when my foot gets better I can walk with one, and after five more weeks (from today) at the most I should be able to walk with no crutches. That would be ten weeks in total... After being sick I'm just not so pleased with that. But by the summer I should be fine, though someone pointed out to me today that I could just avoid all the lines in the airport if I'm on crutches. Oh joy...

We leave for the US on July 19th. I can't wait. I'm so happy... we get to go to a graduation and the parties for  a guy that I have been friends with since I was one and he was two. I've been really worried that he wouldn't want to see me this time, so I'm happy about all of this. I can't wait to see some of my friends, and I'm hoping that I can go into DC with some friends. I want to go to the monuments and museums again.
