Day 13: Friday

Hi everyone!

Last night, it poured and poured and poured. This morning though, you could hardly tell. Anyway, today has been very boring for me because it was yet again another free day. Hannah and I met at 9:30 for breakfast. I had toast and strawberry jam with coconut yogurt. It was interesting but good. We eventually walked over to Sululta and took our normal spots. Hannah was working on her blog from the last few days and I did various things on my computer and continued to work on my very serious game of 'Flow'.

Right before lunch, I emailed Dr. Jean Hanson asking if there were anything that Hannah and I could help with. She invited us to help after lunch. At lunch, Hannah and I both got the vegetable calzone with sliced potatoes. For me, I really liked it. But, I don't think Hannah really liked the vegetables in the calzone.

 

When we finished, we went back to Sululta to help Dr. Jean Hanson. She put us right to work. We helped organize a chart with all the different varieties of Napier Grass that belong ILRI. We also researched the yield loss of smut and stunt with Napier Grass. Our final task was to look up any information on the Mt. Cotton (sesbania sesban) plant/shrub. We actually were not able to find what Dr. Jean Hanson was looking for the Mt. Cotton but she really appreciated our help with the Napier Grass. She is a wonderful lady as I have said before, but her kindness really shows through. 

It started raining again, but I don't mind too much. It keeps it cool. Tomorrow, I set up a time to meet with Tigist Endashaw. She had Nardos' job before she left ILRI. Lisa Fleming the Internship Director really wanted us to meet her, so I look forward to doing so! She is taking us out to coffee/tea, I also hope that Nardos can join us as well. I'd also like to go to the mall tomorrow, if we are allowed, to see what they have to offer. Maybe I can get some Nike shoes for a good price! I'll keep you all updated as I always do!
