Busy day today. Went to Legacy and taught 7West, well actually I read to them a story from Kenya. Then I came home and took a shower, then I called Mike to come and take me to town. Once I got into town I got my errons completed, and I managed not to get run over by a car. You know they drive on the left side here. I walked up to the ORANGE store where I puchase my internet modem and put time on it, then went to the TransMart and picked up coffee and Grapefruits (yummy too). Alice doesn't buy them because they are expensive, but I just have to have my grapefruit. Then I walked back towards the Coffee Shop where all of the Mzungo's hang out. LOL. Well I went to have lunch. YEAH. Food was pretty good, and I found out they have a Sunday Buffet from 12-3pm every Sunday.
While I was in the Coffee Shop I discovered that there is WiFi in Kitale. I was shocked! I need Wifi to download books on my NOOK, and I really need to get that done soon. So I found out where the WiFi was and walked down there. Come to find out that they won't let you connect unless you rent a room, since it's a hotel. UGG. So I walk out, and then I see 2 white men sitting at a table, so I said 'hey guys.' Then one of them said to me, "I'm in the middle of a conversation." Well I walked away and said outloud, Well that was RUDE... Why are American's so damn rude here? I mean, they think their shit don't stink. It really pisses me off. The Kenyan's are nicer than this guy. He was an ASS. All I did was say HI, the other guy looked at me, so what was I supposed to do? Flip him off? geeesssshhh
When Mike came back and got me I went to Kibomet Secondary school to teach my Form 1 student's. We went over the essay format AGAIN, well actually several times. And then I told them the essay is due Thursday. Then I told them, they better get this right, because when I grade it I'm not going easy on them. They have the rubric and know what I'm looking for, so they better get it right. LOL
After school I met up with Pastor Fred Kibet and we worked on the new Church Bulletin for the English service. What's funny is we had to work at his place in his bedroom. NOW, I know as a single woman that's the last place I should be, but the guy is 26 years old, Dylan's age. His place is so so tiny. 2 rooms that's it. Sitting room and bedroom, and the window in the bedroom doesn't open. ugg, how does he sleep at night I'll never know. Anyway, we got the bulletin almost finished. So tomorrow I'll go and finish it and print one copy to see if I screwed up. I love this guy. He's a great friend and I mean friend!
I came home and had to walk through the field where there were 20 cows or so grazing. Now I'm not used to walking next to cows, but here in Kenya, it's what we do. A couple of them are pregnant too! That bull was busy a few months back LOL
That is pretty funny about the two "white" guys... other than their rudeness, how do you know they were American (lol). I guess being a minority white doesn't give you the privilage of speaking to one another. Oh and lets not forget you are a WOMAN too, a white woman. Jeesh, who do you think you are. (Now I'm really laughing out loud!!) Maybe they were international spies!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever worry about being charged by an elephant when you are walking through those open fields? Or a tiger or lion? Sounds very exciting and scary to me....
Wow! You are a busy person :-)
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a great week :-)
