I'm STILL in Nairobi.....

Today I officially finished the classroom phase of my program for the semester! I just had my Swahili final, which was a skit that I and my classmates in the intermediate Swahili class made. It went pretty well, so hopefully we'll get a good grade on it. The rest of the week is for finishing the first drafts of our papers. Its been challenging to work on them because all of my sources and my work are on my computer. In the last 3 days, there has been electricity at my homestay for about 2 hours total. This week my dad is gone to their farm in western Kenya and my mom has been working at the store during the day and then is administering the national exams in the evening, so I've pretty much just been sitting in my room alone in the dark for the last 2 nights until my mom gets home around 9:00. I am getting very anxious to get to Meru! Nothing really too exciting has been going on here, but just thought I'd give a quick update! Oh! and in the last week it has rained quite a bit, which I know is good for the country, but it makes it very difficult to go anywhere. There are very few sidewalks, so I'm either walking through mud or sharing the road with the cars and getting splashed with muddy water. Today its nice and sunny though! :)
