Guess what. Classes have actually started, I've registered for classes (I think?) and I have a set schedule for lectures! I'm taking African Theater, Intermediate Kiswahili, African Political Thought, and African International Relations. I'm really excited about all of them, and I know at least one Tanzanian in all of them (except Kiswahili, obviously). I'm the only white person in my African Theater class, and I really think the Fine/Performing Arts kids are more outgoing than others, so I think that will be really fun.
Other than that, nothing too exciting is going on. Ida took Siri and I shopping on Saturday, which was fun. She and I get along really well so far. She likes to joke around with me, and her boyfriend makes fun of me a lot, so don't worry someone is still trying to keep me in my place, haha.
I finally got sick this week, though. Boo. It was just the normal stomach crap, but I basically stayed in bed all day for two days. However, after that it was over, so it wasn't so bad. One of the girls in my group is a nursing student, so I asked her if I really needed to go to the doctor because I knew my mom would freak out if she knew I was sick and didn't do anything about it. But, she said I could wait to see if I got better on my own, so I did. And now I'm fine! See Mom? I'm not totally irresponsible.
Anyway, other than that, I'm enjoying playing my friends in pool because I had never really played much before, but I don't completely suck. A lot of the time I'm just really lucky, but we don't tell them that. Girls don't really play here, so I'm kind of a spectacle, but really what else is new. I think they're also pretty amused at my competitive attitude, haha, and I definitely have the Moen family to thank for that ;-)

Gosh you're great. I'm glad you aren't changing anything about yourself just because you are in a different culture....still being all competitive and outgoing. Love it. And you. Can't wait to talk to you again!!
Good to know at least someone is making fun of you while you're halfway across the world.

Come home. I know that even if you were here you would be away at school, and I have work as well as school so I have not time, but at least then I could call you. Aaaand by that I mean I am happy for you. Sorry to rag on you. Hope you are not home sick. I miss you. Have fun in your classes.
