This semester I am studying abroad in Tanzania and Kenya. I will be taking classes and doing a research project, but most importantly I get to see a lot of awesome animals!

Arrival
Well I have finally arrived in Africa after 3 days of travel, and no showering. Since we were having so many problems with our baggage we were not able to go out and see London, but this was probably for the better since we have been getting so little sleep. Everything is so beautiful here and I think I'm really going to love it. I haven't gotten more then 5 hours of sleep since Friday so normal daily functions have been a struggle and I can't wait to go to sleep tonight. Unfortunately I have breakfast crew in the morning so I will have to be up at 6:30. We drove all over today through towns and such, it was a scene of random cows and goats and children. Also Tanzania has a lot more speed bumps then I would ever think. Also as everyone in my jeep was starting to fall asleep on our 3 hours drive one of the girls woke us all up because there was a family of giraffes walking along the road. So for the rest of the drive I was on the lookout for more. In Tanzania we have a little cabin and there are two other girls with me. The bathroom is also inside and we have hot water! Plus all the water on camp is drinkable so I don't have to worry about that. We stopped in town today to get some water and I also got ice cream since none of the food sounded that great since my nerves were full blown. Now I'm just ready to go to bed and start orientation tomorrow!
