i've been in nairobi, kenya for a week now, and i've been having a lovely time of things..

last night i wasn't able to get much sleep, so taking this opportunity to update things is probably ill-advised. right now i'm feeling groggy, grumpy, and perhaps even a bit delerious. however, i am generally happy to be here.

exciting things i've done this week include:

-speaking at a conference about sex and gender
-writing a critique of Kenya's draft labor laws
-seeing a monkey up close (!)
- bicycling up a hill/mountain without collapsing

a few things have been stressful, however. a person that i found myself attracted to last week has moved into my flat as a third roomate, and its freaking me out a bit. also, since i am the youngest and most inexperienced person in my cadre, i can't help feeling like i'm a bore.
