Kenya Dig It?: i see a pattern here.

Rural week happens, and i forget to update. pole sana.

things are crazy around here (shocking i know)

i'm actually not going to go all through rural week, because honestly, i don't want to type all of that. and it's pretty much the same as last time. bugs, farm, farm animals, cute children, much better food this time actually, awkward moments when no one understands what you are saying.... more farm life.... and BOOM it's over!

Our last night of rural week after we all got back together we stayed at a hotel, took a hot shower, and realized how badly we smelled. whoops.

then we had some good ol' group bonding time, played some mafia (an excellent camp game), and had a good nights sleep.

SINCE RURAL WEEK:
my research has been on overdrive i've been doing 2 interviews a day when i don't have class, in between class i am either writing research. reading. or only holding 1 interview. it's absurd. plus Nafsi work (PS LIKE US ON FACEBOOK AND FOLLOW US ON TWITTER and check out our site- WE DID THEM ALL THIS WEEK: facebok.com/NafsiAfrica twitter.com/NafsiAfrica nafsiafrica.webs.com ) - shameless plug right there.

andddddd just some absurd things flying around Kenya there was another grenade attack at a bus station in town, but nothing's happened since then, i'm not really worried about it i just keep moving when going places, try not to linger in crowded areas, otherwise my schedule hasn't been changed too much. I'm pretty much exhausted all of the time. but hell rather that then be bored (i mean COME ON i'm still in nairobi- and i keep finding new places and things to do everyday).

so i can comfortably say now i could be anyone's tour guide to Nairobi: the non profit sector and local livings. However, ask me to find the UN or US Embassy...uh zero clue. unless i got directions i could figure it out.

oh also. my english is SO HORRIBLE. it's embarrassing. i can't even speak to my american friends without them asking me to speak words. the problem with this is that although my kiswahili is improving, it is not enough to be losing english. just the way you speak english here is much different i've learned how to explain things and generally how my friends talk so i pick up on it too.

So today i went with some of the Sarkasi dancers and James to the International School of Kenya where i was a "guest PE teacher" i think i'm going to keep going too- they had a balance beam, AND mats! so i was beyond excited. i got to teach beam and helped middle school aged kids choreograph their routines! it was almost like home, in this surreal fancy schmancy school plopped in Nairobi. What was even weirder was that I took the Staff Bus to go teach- well that was weird.

Ok here are some fun photos from the past few weeks:

some of the group being silly before we went out for st. patty's day!
