I have been here for a little over 2 weeks now, but it seems like forever. Not because I don't like it, it just seems like I've been here a long time. We were supposed to start class last week, but apparently no one thinks anyone else will go to class the first week, so very few people go. The professors don't even go. I went. Only 2 of my professors came, and I think the biggest class had 6 in it. That was last week. It was very boring. I didn't even bring any books to read with me. Hillary and I hung out a lot, we are in the same suite, but different bed rooms. We got to know her roommate a little bit, mine was at home in Nairobi. We went to church with an American woman here who works at Daystar at the Nairobi Campus last Sunday. Then she took us to an Ethiopian restaurant. It was great to get off campus.

So far this week, I have had all of my classes. The classes are much bigger. One class that I had today was called "Theology in the African Context". It is a little bit challenging because I don't know much about the African context, but that also means that the teacher doesn't call on me. I'm interested to see what comes of this class because already today I could tell that the lecturer was trying to be careful about what he said about other countries influences on African so that he wouldn't offend my American-ness. He did ask me a few things about America, but I didn't really know the answer because it was about the economy and population. I know nothing about such things.

I met a girl here named Goodness who is from Cameroon and is trying to start a woman's soccer team here. She convinced me to come play with them. I told here I can't commit, but I'm excited to to just have something to do when I can that I enjoy! She and some other girls also go running together in the morning. Also so great! For the last two weeks I have felt so lazy and bored and I am so happy to do something active again.

We have also met some other people who have mentioned things like taking us to their villages or some other place in Kenya that I don't know. I hope they follow through because I want to see more than just Daystar and Nairobi! Nairobi is big and busy and dirty and I don't really like it, but maybe I haven't been to the good parts yet...
