Reasons for writing this blog

- to vent my spleen/valve
- me me me (thankks to Dan for this suggestion)
- primary research for the possible continuation of a doctoral idea I had about conceptualising the blogging phenomenon through the normative Habermasian notion of the public sphere
boredom
- so my so-called-friends can get a laugh out of my hardships
- because seeing it out of context makes me realize how strange it all sounds
- to serve as a reference for possible Teachers/volunteers in West Africa
