WOW!!!

Woo!! This has been a crazy past couple of weeks: getting arrested by immigration, fun nights at Maasai Camp and Via Via, presentations, hanging out with Doreen and much more. I know that I have not updated in a loooong time, but it has been so busy putting together my final independent study project paper! It was stressful, but the presentation and paper went well. The rest of the students and I spent our last week basically just trying to spend as much time together. We made a couple of trips to the local clubs Maasai Camp and Via Via. It was such a blast. Great times for sure! As of now there are only about 15 of us remaining in East Africa. A lot of the students went home on December 9 after our party. Right now I am sitting in the Adrift (white water company hotel) in Uganda. Farren and I just rafted and bungee jumped in the Nile River yesterday, and it was AMAZING. We flipped twice and I fell out twice. It was the most intense white water rafting I have ever done, but very fun. We started off with the bungee jumping, which boosted our confidence for the class 5 rapids. It was pretty much AMAZING. We took an 18-hour bus ride through three countries: Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda and now we are in Jinja, Uganda!!! I was also able to see Brian; he is one of my friends that have been studying here from Point Loma. That was really cool. I really like Uganda, the scenery and people are amazing. The fact that I am not going back to Tanzania and probably will not be there within the next year has really hit me though. I REALLY enjoyed my time there and the thought of not going back is not something that I want to think about. I spent almost 4 months here; it is a big part of my life. I met some really great people and shared some pretty amazing experiences with them! It’s going to be tough leaving that all behind. Anyways, I’m still really stoked for the future. I am going to be picked up in Jinja on Monday and I go on my way to Mt. Elgon, about 8-hours from Jinja to the hospital! I will be working at for about two weeks. I’m really excited about that it should be really fun. Well I will be seeing everybody in about 3-weeks and I can’t wait!!

Man I have not been on this blog for awhile, but I have A LOT to say. School just ended yesterday and people are already on their way back to America. It's crazy to think that this leg of the journey is finished! I don't have a lot of time to write right now, but I am going to try to get something up soon. I leave for Uganda today via bus with my friend Farren. We are leaving at 2:30pm and should get to Uganda by Friday at 8am. First is white water rafting and bunjee jumping in the Nile and then I start the hospital work at Mount Elgon. I miss you all and can't wait to see you in around 3 weeks...man that's crazy!!!!
