I Needed a Win Today... and I Got It

So I've had a horrible start this morning. Let's just say that I embarassed myself in front of my roommate this morning by bursted out crying and ended up making G getting me some tea, Katty giving me girl pep talk while we were sitting in the balcony and you know.. sitting in the balcony. So this morning I just felt like... I need some sort of a win. I need something good to happen. As it happenned, today is also our Scavenger hunt day. Unfortunately, the rest of the AU abrad program is uber competitive, so I really needed to step up my game (well, I kinda knew I would lose anyway). But you know what, I got a win today in a way I would never imagine.

First of all, I got to spend the whole day experiencing the town with SiNae (the other half of this blog :) ). It was wonderful! We went all over town today and get a better sense of the town and where things are. To start our adventure, we went to places that's around Westland like the British Institute:

Then we walk along and find stuff like YMCA and the syngogue where I got my second win of the day. I got a new friend named Elvira who ended up showing us half of the place we were supposed to visit that day. She also show me where to get cheap (legit) hand bags. One of the hardest place to find is the Nairobi Gallery:



But then Elvira had to leave us, so we continued our journey alone and well... we got lost. A lot!!!


The freaking Freedom Corner is an actual corner.. a very... very very tiny corner.

As I predicted, we lost. But at least it's only by a point. I walked a lot today which kinda took my mind off of things so that's a win. I laughed a lot today. I talked to Karl today (I f***ing love my brother). You know what, today was a great day.
