Well, hard to believe its thursday already. I must review the week. After 4 other interns arrived in the past week, our project is now at maximum capacity. I have now been here over 3 weeks and people ask me where to get things and to run errands for the project. Imagine that. Most of the staff is out of town in Mombasa this week and will return tomorrow with the big boss, Susan Allen. Luckily I have nothing but great progress to report. My projects and training materials are moving along nicely. The only hold up now is waiting for the immunology folk to vacate my prep room so that I may perform all duties with proper technique.
On a more interesting front, I leave for safari two weeks from today and I don't know if I can stand the excitement. While I'm gone, my comrades will venture into DRC to Goma to see the ACTIVE volcanoes. Lava could never move slow enough for me to peer into an active volcano, so i'm okay with missing that trip. We are also planning an adventure up to Kampala, Uganda for some Nile white water rafting and a bunjee jump over the falls. Its going to be amazing. Africa really is an adventure.
Unfortunately, our house is not suffering from some technical difficulties, we mostly have no hot water, sometimes have electricity in the kitchen, now do not have any propane for our stove, and definitely don't have enough room to dry our clothes outside (so everything i own including my person smells faintly of mold or algae). We are hopeful that this is a temporary problem as I do not want to adjust to smelling of mildew and then not be able to tell when i stink or switch to a raw food diet eating in the dark. But, this is Africa right? Got to go with what works!
