Hey folks - you might want to check out some of the Deaf Ed people that I have been hanging out with over the past seven weeks (as five out of nine has a blog), and for a bonus, a couple of the current Volunteers who came over last year.
Paul gave me one of the best and funniest secret Santa gift - there's a picture of me on his blog laughing hysterically and trying to compose myself - the inspirational baby posters are everywhere, and it's huge out here. Matt is the one who hacked the goat to death on Christmas - read about it (and when video is uploaded, watch it) in all its glory! Ginnie has emerged as our unofficial social chairperson, and Erin is an awesome all-around person. I'm lucky to be a part of a great group of folks this year!
As for last year, there's Sarah and Mabe who was with us during immersion week and helped us ease into our first week as PC Trainees.
Enjoy reading!
New Year's went great - most of us had a great time, showed a lot of pictures to each other, watched our watches as midnight ticked, was amazed when we realized that it was only 4p in the East Coast when it was midnight out in Kenya. When we woke up at 8a / 9a / 10a, we thought about our friends and family who were at that time celebrating the stroke of midnight, and it made the time difference all that more weird for us. We were also celebrating the finish of the Language Proficiency Interview (we were required to get at least an intermediate in KSL in order to swear-in as Peace Corps Volunteers - today we found out that all of us passed, so we're happy about that).
Today was the last day of classes in Loitokitok - we all are really happy about packing up, heading to Nairobi and eating a few good meals, finding out where we are heading for the next two years; all in all get out of limboville out here!
Hope the holidays were great for all of you!
