Cameroon

My application finally arrived in Cameroon.
But there are not enough applicants at the Bamenda DTS so they are canceling the DTS.
They are going to pass my application on to the Douala base, their DTS starts in April. So some of the pressure is off. I spent several hundred dollars on immunization and now I can get the rabies shot, which I couldn’t get cause you need to take 3 shots over a month period.
I was just going to try to avoid dogs, monkeys, soccer hooligans and Muslim terrorists but now I can be immunized. Man the immunizations don’t came cheap by the way:

Yesterday I got:

Hepatitis A and B (one shot)
Typhoid
Polio
$200 for the three (and doctors fee).
Malaria tablets -$200-

I need to get:

Another Hepatitis A and B
Tetanus
Meninigacocil (or how ever you spell that word)
Yellow Fever
Rabies
In other news I have jury duty this week.

What's going on?

What’s going on with me? Well I’m back teaching but only part-time in the afternoons and only for another week. I’m waiting to hear back from the DTS regarding my application.

My referees sent their parts about a month ago and they haven’t arrived in Cameroon yet. I sent my part about two weeks ago which also obviously hasn’t arrived, and a computer copy - which they have received. So I’m going in 31 days if I get accepted.

WOW freaky, still got stuff to do. Sitting on the scanner beside me is a copy of a form for a Visa in Kenya where I will be staying for a few days. I need injections as well and insurance kind of important stuff like that. I’m still short on money so in the next two weeks if any body has got jobs I can do that would be cool.
