Football, spaghetti, and internet.



Hi!

So the past few days have been great, getting over jet lag and reconnecting with the girls. Wednesday I shadowed a girl to named Jamimah, who is a Form 2 (sophmore). Here is a rundown of the day:
6 am : wake up/prepare for the day
6:45-7:30 : study hall
7:30 : breakfast
Then we had two hours of physics and an hour of business. The business teacher was not there but the girls did their work even without a sub. Business was followed by Swahili, two hours of English, lunch, two hours of math, music, WISH, office hours.
This brings us to dinner at 6 pm.
7:00 - 9:30 : Study hall. By this time I was barely awake, not only do these girls have 15 hour days, but they do it with a freakin smile!

Today (Thursday) the football (soccer) team had a tournament to see who moved on to regionals. The girls played two games and lost, but it was a good time. I got sunburned (obviously) and got hit on by a Kenyan High School boy.

Tomorrow I'm starting my thesis project with a pre test on Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors regarding HIV/STD Prevention and Teen Pregnancy. 35 girls will be taking a KAB survey, and then completing a five week course. Wish me luck, I don't think I'm ready to give the awkward sex talk!
