2 weeks in

I really can’t believe that I have only been here for a week, granted it doesn’t feel like forever, but at least mbili (2) weeks. There are lot of things that Im know that Im failing at. First of all I have not turned a open ear to people speaking anything but English to me; I look like I’m ignoring people. Today I was walking by the boys dorms with the bio guy and some of the boys were welcoming me, I didn’t notice until the bio guy told me. I felt really bad. It happens often, people will be speaking Kiswahili, and then ask me a question in English, the only thing that I notice is because they are looking at me like I should be answering them. Its hard though because I am just not used to hearing it at all. Also a interesting thing that is happening to me here, is my Spanish reacall is amazing. Every word that I want to answer to someone is in Spanish.
