Funniest thing

since i decided to leave to join the Peace Corps, and especially since i have found out that i am leaving to kenya, let's say i have heard some interesting things. alot of "becareful, there is AIDS there" and one person told me that I need to be careful of the lions because they will kill you. however, today at work, one of the guys i work with took the cake. he really is a great guy, (we went to high school together) but he said to me today "so I was watching the exorcist last night and in the beginning it takes place in Narobi. That's where you are going. man be careful. . . it was crazy." now i know he ment to be careful in Kenya for general reasons, but the way he said it made me think that he didn't want me to get posessed by satan. of all the things to worry about.

Finnally

Dental Clearance. . . .Finnally. . . 20 fillings and a huge dental bill later. at least it is one less thing to worry about when i get to Kenya.

Ten Weeks

So excited, but not really. Ten weeks left till I leave, but time just seems so slow. I really want to go already (even though i don't even have half the stuff i need to take). It just seems as though i will never leave. I guess everyone in my position feels this way. I guess there were some attacks in Northern Kenya, however I have been told by alot of people that the Peace Corps will not send people to the North. Which is nice to know. I have been trying to find out as much as I can about Kenyan culture as well as Kenyan Pop culture. There are so many things that i want to know bwfore i leave. The craziest thing is that i am more worried about my hair than anything else. I mean I doubt I will be able to take my 30 minute showers (or even a shower, though i do have a nice solar shower-thanx aunt laura and uncle dave, so maybe a short shower). And since my hair is so crazy here, who knows. But I WILL NOT SHAVE MY HEAD. or even cut my hair short for that matter. But on the plus side I sent off all my paper work for my dental clearance. Any day now. And as soon as I know my staging area I will let everyone know. Oh, and i guess that I will not do my country training in Naiviasha, Kenya as I previously thought. Some other Peace Corps trainees and current Peace Corps Voulenteers in Kenya that I have been talking with said that they have decided to move the traing area to a place more rural somewhere called Tisii or Tishkii. . . something like that. Anyway.
