This morning, my father was interviewed on CBC Radio. They did the interview over the phone. My father sat in the living room to do the interview. I closed my bedroom door and sat on my bed listening to the interview over my radio-clock, because it was just so damn cool to hear my dad on national radio. He's famous!

Also today, I handed in the last of my assignments and attended the last of my classes before the second round of practice teaching. Now I have nothing left but to focus on getting ready for Kenya.

Up next: Epic Shopping Trip. I have two-column list of things to buy for Kenya. I anticipate spending in the neighbourhood of $400 -- all of it utterly necessary expendature and therefore will not be accompanied by the usual spending-guilt.

YEAH HELL! THREE DAYS!

That's very cool. What was he interviewed for? (i.e. which show? what topic?) I was listening to CBC One all morning.

I forget the name of the show -- he was interviewed at about 7:20am about Nipissing University Faculty of Education's international practice teaching options.

Did you happen to hear it?

Kenya! Are you leaving in three days?? Can you post updates from there? Have FUN!

I am leaving in TWO days, now!

I won't be able to post updates from there, I'm sorry to say. We're staying out in the Masai Mara in a compound composed of tents on wooden platforms surrounded by an electrical fence to keep the elephants out at night.

I will have LOTS to say when I get back, though, I promise you that!
