Day 2

OUR BAGS CAME!!! So finally I am able to change my clothes and shower so I’m a happy person. One thing I forgot to do in my last blog was to explain the plane ride from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro, one of the bumpiest planes that I have ever been on, I wasn’t positive the plane was going to land safely. It was a small propeller plane and it was all SFS students and older couples taking a vacation. Considering I had no sheets or blankets last night I actually had a pretty good nights sleep and I only woke up once. At 6:30 I woke up for breakfast crew and I was in charge of making the pancakes, I’m a pro now to say the least. After breakfast we had a lot of orientation and spent time going over all the rules. Then we went to walk around to see the town and a really cute little church. One thing I want to do in town is have a skirt made form the fabric and also tire shoes, so many things I need to do. What is really nice about school is we have a two hour break after lunch to do what we want and now we don’t have anything to do until dinner at 7. Things are going really well, and this weekend we have our first trip into a National Park!!! I just have to get through three days of class until I get to have the real fun. Most of the professors are natives and one of them is from Germany. The hangout has become a gazebo that is elevated off the ground so we have a great breeze coming through while we read, blog, and do homework. It is has been pretty hot, but it’s only bad when we are walking for a long time with the sun beating down on us. The weather is honestly beautiful. I’m thrilled to be here!
