Scorpion

First off, I killed a Scorpion this week! He was hanging outside our door trying to break in so I had to kill him!! Most importantly, I had such a good week! I found a clinic to work at, it is a Catholic hospital! I will work there in the mornings, then they take lunch at 12:30 and I will head home to be with the kids! I really hope I like it, I am just excited to be doing something. Although they were like you need to learn Swahili, which is a little intimidating, it is a hard language. The week with the kids was really good, they are entertaining, and I am loving the German volunteers. Ok the big event of the week was going to the clinic on Thursday. Where I had diarrhea about 3 times. I made a really good impression. The toilet was of course a hole, with no tp and I had about 10 squares for 3 rounds of diarrhea. It was rough! We headed back to zebra with a truck with hay for the cows. We got home at about 8, and we unloaded the hay. Afterwords the truck driver realized he locked his keys in his car. And I was not there, but after about 15min I heard what happened, and went out there and taught everyone how to break into a car!! And it worked! It was really funny! Everyone was questioning how I knew how to do it, and was very impressed by my work! Fortunately, about a month ago my mom had locked her keys in the car with the car running, and my aunt taught me how to break in. It did not work on my mom's car but it did work here in Kenya! So everything has a purpose. The next day EM and I went to the kids' school and observed. Where one of the German boys told everyone I broke into a car the night before which was embarrassing. But one of the teachers made Mathiesen teach two of her classes. I seriously would have died, I was very thankful I was not a teacher at that moment. Just walking in and being forced to teach. So embarrassing, but she did really well. So that was our interesting week. Yesterday the Germans, Em and I all came to Nairobi and went out for dinner. So it has been a good week! I am really loving it, and am excited to start at the clinic!!
