Nothing Much

Just a quick update:

I'm down to less than two months! I've been away from 'the states' for over two years and I'm starting to get a little nervous as to how that place will seem to me after all this time. How have people changed since I left or how have my perceptions changed during these months away? But now is not the time for a lengthy reflective exposition on my experience. That will come after all is said and done. But I will make a suggestion to everyone:

Transition/Readjustment Tip #1:

Please, please, PLEASE do not ask me "How was Kenya?" or "How's Africa?" How do you answer a question like that? How would you answer the question "How is America?" Ummm...fine...ok...good. Please ask me a more specific question, one that is not so broad.

I'm halfway through my last term and things are crazy busy. I'm going in early to teach at 6:30 and I try to be there every Saturday to assist those who come. Exams are just around the corner and our Form 4's are going slightly crazy with exam fever. I'm looking around my house and trying to decide what exactly I need and what I want to keep and what I can give away. Also, I still don't know if I'll be replaced by another volunteer at my site. I'll know by the end of the month. The last month and a half will be busy busy, but it will be worth it. See everyone soon!

EXTRA:
My favorite Kikamba translation of late (literal translation of Kikamba to English):

"You think you're very sharp putting me a stomach? Well, my father says if you don't drive me, you'll pay him cows without mathematics."

Which means:

"You think you're something, getting me knocked up? Well, my dad says if you don't marry me, you'll pay us cows up the wazoo."
