I’ve been told so many times that here at the School that girls gain weight and guys lose it during the year, resulting in people going home either 7 kilos heavier or lighter. The first two weeks I believed this because everyone was too exhausted to train and ate like horses (mainly shoving cakes from Java down their throats). Now I’m starting to wonder how the hell they could gain that much, the only possibility is that they gained the weight in muscles because everyone here are obsessed with training.
Walkers going up at 6 o’clock to stroll for an hour before breakfast, people jogging at all hour, gym goers, tennis players, basket with Kenyans every Sunday (tell you more about that further down), night swimmers, horse people and golfers. I myself are amongst several of these people and I love it I have more energy than ever and it actually looks like I’m getting some muscles.
Yesterday it had been announced that those who wanted could come play basketball between 14-16 o’clock at the schools basketball field. I went there thinking it was just going to be a few students from the boarding tossing the ball around but I couldn’t have been more wrong. When I got there the only people there were the gymnastic teacher and a mother to one of the younger kids at school, all students were in bed resting after the party night. I asked our teacher if we still would play even though we were just three, and then they came, huge Kenyan guys. I thought I would die, I have only played with girls and guys half my size before and are used to being able to hang over people making them unable to throw the ball anywhere without me steeling it. Try that with a 2-meter tall Kenyan giant, it doesn’t work. The guys were great, friendly and really fun to play with, best of all was that they didn’t make fun of me playing quite badly.
