Dear Mosquito

Don't think I didn't see you there. I know your tricks now. Just hiding out until I put my net down. Casually buzzing in before I tuck the last end under the bed. And maunching on me...all night. I won't fall for it this time. This is war!

Did you know?
Only female mosquitos bite. They need our blood to make mosquito babies. That's cute.

A non-exhaustive list of the things I've done today instead of writing my papers

Yes, I realize I have been a very bad blogger lately. It's gotten to the point where a blog can't portray my African life. And I'm not that interesting. I'll try harder.

(jealous of my mosquito net fort?)

Anyways, as I've previously mentioned. I have about 60 pages of writing due at the end of the semester and I've written a whapping 0. Now, I'm trying to get really serious because I've finally admitted to myself that there's no way I can write 60 pages in the the last week of the semester in Nairobi. You also have to realize that I haven't done  homework in 6 months. Today, I woke up early to get my International Development paper started, but here's what I've ended up doing instead...

• wandered around the house looking for Lucky, realized she climbed up a tree and thought maybe that was a sign I should be writing my paper
• went back to my room, opened my computer, and caught up on American fashion...really?
•  thought about how much I am hardcore craving oatmeal right now
• drank 3 cups of chai with my mama...very very slowly
• volunteered to do the dishes, wash the floor, and sweep outside...all which only took me 30 minutes...darn
• ironed my clothes...everyone else seems to do it here, I thought I'd give it a try
• watched my sister braid her hair and pretended to be super intrigued
• lathered on aloe vera for about the 5th time today
• checked my bank account...then quickly closed the browser :S
• started writing postcards but realized I kept misspelling words...maybe I'll just stick to emails

It's only 1:00 pm here. As you can see, I have much more of my day to waste...I'm going to go warm up some leftover pilau...that stuff is tasty!

I hear the Luo really know how to party...

Going out to Kisumu Town with my big sister. Should lead to an interesting night.

Oh and Lucky was born without a tail...silly kitty!
