It's kind of a running joke within our group once someone gets sick, well... They've got the Kenya. Everyone seems to be coming down with a pretty bad bug, or stomach issues. Luckily I only had one morning that I felt a little uneasy- but so far so good I haven't had any problems. Which is awesome, however, that means I'll probably end up being really sick during an even busier week (which really stinks).
Today we had another PCK (politics and culture in kenya) class with Lynsey, where we discussed a lot about ancient urban cities in Africa, and people's perception os Africa, and if it was urban or not. If anyone has seen my facebook pictures you see I'm in Nairobi, it's pretty damn urban, so we all are a little biased in that discussion.
I also had a one on one meeting to discuss my internship options, hopefully I get one of the ones I talked about. More updates on that to come next week.
The rest of the day was lazy, and I just napped, for a while. It was great. We made dinner again (yes i helped cook) and I finally got to speak to Maura! It's cheap fro me to call the US and i just happened to catch her during her lunch break, that definitely made my evening a lot better! Erin, don't worry I'm going to give you a call this weekend (we luckily have caught each other on fb chat a few times already). But remember time difference is 7 hours which is hard because by the time you all are out of school I'm fast asleep.
I got a chance to email some old teachers from KPS today too, which I'm really excited to get responses from. With the anniversary of 9/11 coming up I've been thinking a lot about home (not home sick quite yet) but it's definitely on my mind and it's nice to keep in touch with people I haven't seen in a while.

ReplyDeleteHey darlin'. I just wrote a very long letter/comment (about 30 minutes or more) and I deleted it by mistake. Suffice it to say that I'm thrilled with your blog, that your cooking, and learning so much, that I want to read your books when you come home, especially the ones about the politics of gender in developing countries. I'm living vicariously through you, will bring you with me when I go to Africa and I expect a spectacularly scrumptious Kenyan meal when you come home. Continue to have the wonderful experience you are. Have lots of fun, but not too much fun. ; )
