Hola, amigos!

I really don't have much of an update here, but I'm trying to write regularly.

Here's what you need to know:
a. I had an AMAZING hamburger last night. I will eat one again tonight. And I will keep eating them until I no longer miss In n Out. Which might take a while. :)
b. I hear it's like 150 degrees in Sacramento. It's a nice 75 here in Kenya. Just sayin'...
c. Speaking of sun, I'm either really dirty, or kind of tan. I just showered 6 hours ago, so I'm going with TAN. HEY-O!
d. Apparently, I'm a master of Kung-Fu here. I don't mind it. I fought five 11-year olds today. With my gigantic purse. Made them all cry. I'm pretty much amazing.
d2. Just kidding. I get schooled everyday by these kids. In Kung-Fu. In politics. In faith. And in love.
e. When you go shopping for souvenirs here, you had best watch where you are going. I got grabbed by some lady who really wanted me to buy things. And she wouldn't take "I HAVE NO MONEY" for an answer. I think she thought I was lying. Come to think of it, I think everyone thinks I'm rich because I'm white.
f. I'm learning names! I'm learning names! I'm actually remembering names! (To clarify, I have to remember, like 200 names.. including kids and staff. It's hard work.)
g. I need a haircut. Seriously. I hate hair. Mike told me to buy a scrunchie today. I hate scrunchies more than I hate hair. Hair is stupid.
h. The kids are already telling me that they love me. And I am already telling them that I love them. It's gonna suck when I have to leave in 4 months.
i. Um, Did I tell you how cool these kids are? Just sayin'.
j. Have I mentioned yet how stoked I am to be here? Seriously. STOKED.
k. I am trying to figure out what to buy everyone back home. Any requests? I'll start making a list now. Might take me a while to gather everything. And I have to budget my money.. haha.

P.S. Did I tell you about how I ate some bad eggs? Diarrhea and vomiting on Saturday. Lovely. Sorry if that grossed you out. I'm much better now. Except I never want to eat eggs again.

'Tis all for now. Be well, my friends. I love and miss you all!
