(Finally) An Update!

So I haven't posted in... 2 weeks now?

My bad. Lemme fill you in real quick. (and I mean real quick. My laptop is about to die and I forgot the charger)

Week 1
I spent week 1 back at Logos, classroom-hopping. Monday I was in my regular Class 2. Tuesday I went to the Montessori kindergarten Logos also runs. Wednesday I was in the other class 2, but the teacher wasn't there. So I became the teacher for the day. Fortunately, a lot  of other teachers came in for subjects like Kiswahili, Music, etc. Thursday and Friday I was in the Special Ed classroom, which was a really interesting experience.

The way Logos does Special Ed is inclusion, so students are in the classroom most of the time. Depending on the severity of the disability, however, they spend a  certain amount of time one-on-one with the special ed teachers. There are 2, so they'll only ever have 2 students in the class at a time.

Week 2
Last week 9 of us from Nairobi Chapel went on a trip to Moyale, the northern-most part of the country. It was a 24hr bus ride each way, and we're not talking Greyhound. We got there, settled in to where we were staying, and then went to Ethiopia. Turns out Ethiopia and Kenya have a completely open border; you can walk across without being asked for a passport. The one catch is you have to be back by 6-- if you try to stay in a hotel or anything, they'll ask for your passport and it has to be stamped.

In Ethiopia we went shopping, I drank the best coffee I've ever had, and I got at least 8 marriage proposals or declarations of love. Yay. We would cross back over at 6 and go to dinner, play cards or pool, or just hang out until bedtime. The group I went with was awesome. Before we went I only really knew Emily and Kate, the 2 girls I live with, but the rest of the group was amazing.

Ok, it's really about to die. But today I went on a field trip with my class 2, so pictures and description coming soon!!

p.s. I'm doing really well and both excited and terribly sad that I'm leaving here in 9 days!
