I can't beleive it is all almost over. Half of the group is leaving tonight to go back to either Europe or the states. I don't think it has hit me yet that this part of the semester is over. that probably has something to do with the buttloads of work I have left to do (that prolly won't get done...lets be honest) and the fact that I only passed the halfway mark of my african adventure a couple weeks ago. I still have a long ways to go...which I am excited for...but it just doesn't feel real yet. It's been a whirlwind week of paper writing...drinking tusker...and attempting to readjust to nairobi culture before being flung into a whole new world again in a couple days.
sunday mollie and I leave for western kenya. we are taking matatus into Nakuru where we are going to hang for the day or so....setting up camp...heading out to kisumu...then off to uganda a couple days later. at some point we are meeting up with the boys..but we'll see. I'm thinking we will be in uganda for a week or so...i wanted to hit up northern uganda to see the refugee camps...but I don't think that is a wise choice (see mom and dad...I can make good choices. haha). Then off to rwanda to spend the majority of the trip seeing mountain gorillas, hiking and seeing all the genocide memorials. We all decided that every few days we are going to treat ourselves to a hotel with running water and electricity, but other than that we are going to be roughing it which should be alot of fun. my leg hair is getting pretty long now..I'm sure by the time my parents reach kenya they are going to be appalled at my appearance (hairy, fat, smelly, etc. haha) but it's all been worth it. this seems like the only time in my life where I can actually be a little dirty and have it be totally ok.
i'm going to be totally honest. until yesterday i was staying in a hotel..and I only took one shower while i was there...and its been 3 days since then...and i'm going to have to go atleast another 2 days. i justify this by thinking..."atleast I don't sweat through my clothes anymore". eh. so is life. i'm save the water supply of the world.
ok...I suppose i should go write some more....20 pages down...10 to go!!!!
