This week was the first week of classes in Nairobi and I was
able to choose two electives. I decided on a Biodiversity course on the
Conservation practices in East Africa and a gender course. I was planning on
taking a History course but ended up finding the gender course to be
interesting and low key so that’s that!
This weekend, we cast off our student persona and became
full-blown tourists! We climbed Mt. Longonot (a volcano) in the Rift Valley!
Either I’m in terrible shape (which is a total possibility; I eat so much
here!) or else it was the elevation because I was EXHAUSTED going up the
volcano and usually I’m okay with that sort of thing. But anyhow, I made it!
And along the way, we saw a handful of zebras in the distance and one giraffe
standing all by himself on the rim of a smaller, nearby crater.
This morning a group of us went to the Giraffe center in
Karen (where we’re staying). So we spent the morning feeding and mooning after
giraffes. THEY’RE SO COOL.
This week has been a bit stressful and it will only get
worse because all of our assignments are due soon because (dunn dunn dunn
DUUUUUUNNNNNNN!) we’re leaving for TANZANIA in a week! Tra lala!
At the moment, I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to do for my 4-week IDS (independent study) at the end of the semester. I was thinking of doing Organic Farming stuff or something with A Rocha but am still undecided.
That's all for now! Kwaheri!
