Orientation began and ended, and I felt worse than before. I learned that most people think Africa is a country. And for those who know that it's a continent think the only countries are Ghana, Nigeria and Uganda. You tell someone you're from Tanzania and you see them nodding with a question mark plastered on their faces. The organizer of the event, the head of the international students' office, thought it'd be better to play songs from Africa to ease the air, and he ended up playing traditional songs our ancestors used to summon their gods. I didn't know how to feel. There were only 3 African students at the event, me included. And we gave each other glances which said a lot.
