The possibility of the university shutting down for the fall was brought up in conversation today. Classes were already pushed back because of the lack of university funding. Talking to my roommate, we discussed virtually every option as to what we would do and what we’ve learned so far as well as reasons we would go home if classes were cancelled.
I can’t specifically say at this point what all I’ve learned. I do know a little more Kiswahili then when I started. I’ve cultivated a deeper relationship with God. I’ve met some interesting people. I’ve tried lots of new food. I’ve made new friends. I’ve had to laugh at myself…and I’ve almost been scared speechless.
I think it ultimately comes down to what is best for my finances and my education. Whatever happens, I really hope we have information soon as I need to plan one way or the other. Too, it’s hard to stay motivated to work on your language skills, when part of you believes that you’ll be home in three weeks.
There is so much I still want to do and see here though I know there is a tiny, tiny, part of me that misses what I know. I haven’t had any real homesickness or missed anybody immensely as of yet. I don’t know….Tomorrow we meet again with our professor and maybe she’ll have some answers for us. My brain is in hyper-overdrive until them trying to develop Plans C, D & E.
