Study hard dance harder

Yesterday not a lot happened except for I got LETTERS in the mail (thanks to two people, you know who you are!), which completely made my day better because yesterday was a hard day. We had our LPIs, or Language Proficiency Interviews. These are our interviews where we are expected to have reached a certain level of Swahili, and we are assessed and scored on how well we speak. Luckily I was able to sign up for the second time slot, so I took it in the morning and had the rest of the day to relax. I think it went okay, we will probably get results on Monday. 

Yesterday I was eating dinner and heard something walking on the roof. Then we heard meowing, and it turns out our teenage kitten couldn't figure out how to get out of the rain gutter. I tried to help him, but he's still scared of me, and every time I reached for him he would duck back into the gutter. So I gave up, and I guess he eventually figured out how to get down, because in the morning I saw him walking around on the courtyard wall. My mama and I laughed about that poor cat.

This afternoon we all got together for a talent/ fashion show and cultural exchange. It was an awesome time of decompressing together as a group, relaxing, and dancing. Now if you know me, you know that I'm not a big dancer. But this music, man! Granted I cannot hold a candle to Tanzanians' dancing abilities, but the music is so good, and no one is judgmental, you just have to dance. And it feels great. :)
