So today we had out politics of culture in kenya class and learned about the colonization of Nairobi as an urban city, and the people, housing, environment, and public services (or lack there of).
I also have been in contact with my supervisor for my internship, and I'm meeting with her on Thursday!
I just typed up my first assignment for my PofCK class, and a two page double spaced assignment turned into a 2.5 page single space paper. I can't even tell you I'm so excited about everything here, even the work and the readings. I haven't been this excited for school since I began college.
Even my art class has a group assignment due in like 3 weeks, but I've already got all the notes from an old class and started it- it's ridiculous.
I'm going to go finish some readings, and work on my Kiswahili, we have a sort of miniature presentation on greetings tomorrow morning that I am in no way ready for... plus I left my Kiswahili notebook in a bathroom in center city by mistake :( so I'm a little bit behind, but no worries I will catch up!
I'm still loving everything (abnormally so compared to the rest of the group) and for some reason, none other that I can think of besides I love it here, and I have the excitement of a 5 year old Christmas morning.... and well it's great. I'm so anxious to do so much I can't even explain it.
don't forget to smile today!
read this today and thought of you...
