29/8: Third social

Today was office day. I had to come to work at 9.30 am, I was still not really doing anything two hours later and I have a Kiswahili class at 2 pm, so maybe I will get two hours of actual work done today. But it was okay to have a bit of time to do what I wanted I looked over a lot of the micro finance stuff in their drop box that I know have on my computer as well and I could check my bank account and be pleasantly surprised. Which was nice as I had been dreading checking it for a long time. Scratch that we didn’t work at all before my Kiswahili lesson, not at all. But just before I was about to go to the lesson (here are two supervisors one has been on maternity leave (Elizabeth) and just come back and the other is leaving this Friday because she (Diana) was here when the other was gone) Diana came with the translated forms we needed to go over. I am down six hours of lessons now so 54 left! It is always fun to have the lessons because Victoria teaches in many different ways. Afterward I went to Africafe to Skype, I got in touch first with my mother and then my sister got home and then we conference called my father as well and it was really good finally being able to talk with them and not worry about how much money we are spending doing it. But there was a lot of background noise and despite how good the carrot cake and strawberry milkshake was, I’ll do it a quieter place next time. And maybe try adding the video to see some familiar faces. Then we went to my third social this one at the Maasai café, pizza again, it was wonderful. We talked to some of the same and bit of other people, the last two socials have been really nice because we could all just talk and enjoy the evening.
