So today when I was avoiding doing my paper I looked up
Swahili words. The staff tells me a lot of words and I write down what I think
they are saying and the meaning. When I looked up the words I had scribbled
down it turned out I was mispronouncing quite a few words. There are so many
sounds here that we don’t have in the English language!
Also, in my haste to come up with things to do to avoid my paper I went to the tailor to check on my pants and bag. The pants didn't fit (I loved them but my butt didn't fit in them) and the bag was not at all what I asked for. The woman gave me a hard time about fixing the bag but hopefully they will both be good when I go again on Thursday.
Even with all of the procrastinating I finished my paper with 3 hours to spare. Everything is so relaxed here. I love it.
After dinner we have this thing called RAP. It is reflections, announcements and presentations. Every night a different student leads it and tonight's student had us do zumba. I didn't think I would like it but, other than the fact that my stomach was full of food, it was so much fun. The staff even did it with us so it was just a room full of confused people laughing and trying to follow the steps :D
Tomorrow we are going to a new national park to observe animals. I hope we get to see lions!
