So this blog is getting a late start and I've never done a blog before. But due to suggestions from my family, I am going to give it a try. I am already half way done with my semester abroad! I have been in Kenya that last few weeks and yesterday we had to say goodbye to the amazing faculty and staff in Kenya and start all over again in Tanzania. It is beautiful here! There is actually grass (not just a field of sharp, pokey things) and supposedly it should be cooler here, but it was pretty warm this afternoon. I think we are all a little homesick. Actually I know we are because I keep hearing little bits of everyone's conversations and they have all been mimicking the sayings of KBC. 

"Mwanafunzi! Mwanafunzi! Let's go! Let's go! Let's Go-o!!"- Kiringe
"Kwa nini.... and.... why?" and "Miracle mzungu!" -Arthur
"I am not trying to crucify you."- Daniel
"You have made my cup of joy overflow!"- Okello
"I am an old man. Go easy on me."-Sapaya (...as he kicks our butt in soka)

New Home for the next month and a half

 I think it will be easier once we start to make friends with the staff here. I am sure they are just as sad about the first group leaving them as we are about leaving our family at KBC. But I am very excited to start directed research and go to Tarangire, Manyara, and the Serengeti! I think a game drive would really boost everyone's morale. I miss seeing zebras. They are like fat, striped horses with round ears.

My favorite African animal
