First-Third World Problems

Every blogger/missionary is entitled to one post where they complain about everything to gain pity from others. Here is mine:


My alarm didn't go off this morning. i had to make coffee during recess instead of before school
Our water is brown from the recent rain so i have no "clean" pants. i had to wear shorts instead
i put sugar in my coffee for the first time here. i over sweetened
i had a discipline issue that took up half of my lunch time. i had to eat during my free period instead
We are a living RedBox to the locals. i spent my free period summarizing and transferring movies
My 40 minute free period went by too quick. i had to eat my ramen before it cooled all the way
i asked a student for a word with the sound "OH" in it. They replied "umbrella"
i asked he next student for a word with the sound "UH" in it. They replied "open"
We made hummus and bread yesterday and left the bowls sit overnight. It was my turn to do dishes
i drove to the store for a rice and toilet paper. We forgot toilet paper
We found oranges at a roadside "half-opened-can" (aluminum shanty) AKA store. They are green 
While we were out, we stopped at the Post Office. No packages
The waves were big so i went surfing. The wind was blowing and the waves weren't glassy smooth
Heavy rain clogs the water debris filter. My shower was like a man with prostate issues peeing on me
i headed to the bathroom to think. River yelled "don't forget a napkin" (remember, no TP?)
i forgot the napkin. i wiped with soggy toilet paper instead (rain came in the window last night)
The Pastor's wife gave us fried fish and boiled bananas for dinner. The fish tasted too fishy






Updates: We have no toilet paper


With love and satire,
