Electricity!!!!

We really do not know how lucky we are in North America. Here in Zambia, Electricity is a luxury that MOST people do not get on a regular basis. Honestly, i think i am doing ok with everything else i am dealing with the bugs ok...i saw my first cockroach two days ago and i took great joy in killing it. But having no electricity is probably the worst part of being here. When you are trying to eat, cook, do work, shower the lights always go off. It is actually quite annoying. I found out that our area having so much power outages is political. Our area in Kabwe does not have "big shots", or political leaders so we are not on the priority list to receive power. However i have read two and a half novels because of the lack of electricity...i have lots of candles and flashlights. I don't think i have read a single novel since university that was like 4 years ago..its sad i know=(

Anyway i just felt i needed to vent about that to you all
