UM


The last week was crazy, and not in a good way! Ok Friday, a Cobra, yes I said Cobra was killed in the rocks at our water tank which we use everyday! I do not do snakes! Also, after the Cobra was found I was informed that they have been found in the toilets multiple times, so not only am I trying to poop in a hole but I have to do a full check to make sure a Cobra does not bite my butt. This is so roughing it! :) Saturday morning I woke up and even before I could drink any coffee, I was chosen to be the assistant with helping skin a gazelle that had been killed on our land. Then that night I got sick with a fever, cough, and flu. Tuesday, Emily, the two German guy volunteers myself, and a teacher decided to go on a motorcycle tour to Lake Magadi. Unfortunately, the one German boy crashed his bike because a goat cut him off! He is ok, no broken bones, but he has given me a lot of work this past week changing his bandages everynight! And we never made it to the Lake. But we did spend the day cooking meat at a campsite in the rift valley, while he recovered from his crash. That was really fun, and gorgeous. But it was a scary day. I will not be going on any more moto tours for a while. And my time at the clinic has been not so good b/c I am only see about 1 patient a day. But I have been informed that the staff had a debate about what I should be doing, and starting today I get to rotate around and do everything! So I am excited about that!!! Hopefully, I will get to see more and be more useful!! The kids at the center are excellent, lots of fun and just so sweet. Unfortunately, one of them is now sick with what I had so I am pretty sure everyone will have it soon enough! Hopefully, this next week will be much better!!! But I do love it here, just had a bit of a bad week!! But Emily and I are still laughing so its all good!!
