Today the rest of the school is having a little hike over a couple of hills called N’gong Hills. It is supposed to be a nice little walk up and down steep hills lying after each other like the knuckles on a closed fist. It is one of the warm ups for climbing Mt. Kenya and I hate missing it. It is also quite cool because the area my classmates are now strolling around in is quite unsafe because of thieves and buffalos (T.I.A) so they get to have 3 guards with them. The reason I’m not strolling along is because I’m really close now to reach my goal of coughing my lungs out. Hopefully I’ll be able to go another time.
To make sure nobody would stay home just to skip the exercise and have a sleep in our lovely boarding parents decided that even the sick kids had to be up at 7 o’clock if they wanted any breakfast. No Brunch or lunch will be served either today and we’re strictly forbidden to leave the school area so if it was not for the lovely ladies in the kitchen leaving out bananas we would get nothing until 5 o’clock tonight. Thank god for the girl who a couple of days ago bought me a cup of noodles because I’m really too big of a person to live of bananas.
When going out to hang my laundry to dry out in the sun I at least got some company thanks to Matata, who first almost scared the crap out of me, he is very good at imitating a rock and can be quite frightening when he starts walking towards you. The crack in his side is from doing a rock imitation in the parking lot underneath a teacher’s car a couple of years ago.
