New home again

I'm having trouble sleeping again tonight. So i though i'd hit the blog.

You may notice i have figured out how to start a new paragraph. Practically rocket science over here.

So i guess a quick catch-up. I left monday, arrived tuesday, spent wednesday in downtown nairobi, spent thursday just resting at the nairobi apartment, spent friday travelling out to mbooni, spent saturday morning meeting and playing with some kids who are part of a food security project, and then saturday afternoon was spent moving to the school.

I will certainly in into more detail on the things that happened earlier this week, but lets first talk about the school. I'll be teaching at an all girls secondary school in mbooni. About half the girls are boarders, and I am living on campus, too. I now live in a little house with two bedrooms, a sitting room, a "latrine", a kitchen, and, most impressively, a shower. The extra bedroom is for another young teacher who apparently will move in tomorrow. The latrine is the squat kind. All these rooms are connected by an outdoors (roofless) room/corrider that has a padlocked gate. My bedroom door locks and there is a watch man so i feel pretty safe. I an super excited to wash my hair tomorrow; I have only shampooed once this week, but i take solace in the fact that grease makes it less frizzy. Yes, this girl is attractive.

Tomorrow I have to go to a five hour long church service. At first I thought they were joking. Nope. Does that not seen slightly lenghty?

Oh, also I have a chicken coop outside my door with baby chicks! And there was a act running around and I mentioned that I love cats (editors note: I love dogs more) and the principal was like, oh then we'll get you one. Hooray! Jack, should I name it sebastian?

Okay, I am going to try to sleep again. Leave comments!
