just gotta talk

I guess today is one of those days when I have more morale to blog then usual so enjoy it while it lasts.Has my second lecture today at least I was not the only black person in the class but I am guaranteed to be the only Kenyan in my class I can put my money on that.There are not too many Kenyan students in this uni and the ones who are are just not my type of people.Of the several that are here two are chutis ( I'm not racist but I'm not close to them ),4 chics one who is rarely on campus,one who is but i do not see, the other I do not like and i think it goes both ways and a fresher who is pretty good company.
I have met some other Kenyans in ATL who are not bad but let's look at it on the plus side at least I will concentrate on school more.Anyway who says we have to be pals coz we are Kenyan?Yes it does help for the bad times but if we don't get along why force issues?There was this akataa chic who looked so Kenyan in my class mpaka I had to vibe her she had that slim nai kind of figure, avery Kenyan face mpaka the kuyo forehead ( sorry ladies but we notice these things all the time! ) but i forgot to get her name.She's most def one for the future if I want to feel I am with a local gal apart from when the domez begin.
Also I was looking at the town crime stats.No one has been murdered here in the last 3 years!In nai it was hourly,God bless that city!Ooooh and I passed by my new digs the cable was working great, no more boredom.Yes bumming for several weeks before uni gave me this cable addiction, the telly would be on even if I was not watching.Or maybe it is coz I could not afford DSTV back home,compensation perhaps?Anyway it is getting late and let me walk to what will soon be my ex home and get ready for my new home!

Day 1

Just had my first day at work today.I will be reviewing the school's websites and later on updating them.It was really interesting how this happened as I am no comp whiz just that some years back I applied for a jobo at braeburn.Part of the job description was to update the site, i did not get past interview 2 but i got an interest in web design.So I never did go to comp colle but i huffed and puffed and taught myself.After some time I got that jobo that I mention in the early days of my blog.And look at me now what I did for fun is now funding my education.Though now I have to get back into it seriously as there is no michezo with odieros.so now I am getting hands on with the mac and you know in Kenya how we are pro pc.anyway all in all that and getting into my new apt soon it has not been a bad day.
Oh the first Sunday liqour licensces are coming thru woo hoo!Another excuse not to go to church!Just kidding I will still go to church too.Almost time to go find a nice couch in the lib to sleep on before my only class today.

Sunday

Today has been a totally wasted day.I now know how cats feel or close to it.I have been dozing on and off most of today.I tried to cook some fries but i dozed so they burnt, with this summer heat there was no way I was cooking more so I looked for the good ones and threw the rest away.Yes I can be lazy but so what!I passed by the apt that I am moving too and started looking at some of the tapes at the vcr owned by one of the guys who lives there and the guy had like 3 pornos.I have nothing against porn but the less viewed the better.I also think that it takes away the incentive to hook up if you are single and the incentive to work on your sex life if you are married.It does have some pluses but I do not feel like getting into that at the moment.
I have not told my roomie that I am shifting but I will let him know sooner or later.I just for the life of me cant stand that house so I will be away.
Soon I do plan on going to some church here, yes I know I am anti church but this is the Bible belt and a small town at that come sunday everything shuts down.So to have something to do on Sunday morning church it is then maybe I will have found something else to keep me occupied.

BBQ

I went for the Black Students' BBQ today.I may not be black american aka akataa as i here them being called by Africans but I am black and I am a student teehee.Met some really nice people there I think it is since we are in a small town people decide to put away the old beef that exists between miroos and akataas.But most of the atendees were freshers so I could be wrong.I will go for kesho's meeting and find out what the deal is.It is amazing how fast these ppl mature, I met some chic and I was talking to her I had her pegged at 24 but seems she was 18 but the booties she was carrying.I had shamelessly choread as we say.She could not believe my age as according to her I and another Kenyan chic do not look out ages at all ( a good boost to the ego I must admit ).But I also went to hook up a cell phone plan so I ended up being dirt broke only 7 bucks to my name till refund checks come around.Also I start my assistantship jobo tommorrow so no more bum time which is good anyhow.

Been so long

I have been a bad boy!I have taken such a long time to post.That is most definitely not good!Anyway I have been settling down in school.Got to meet the int'l students, there are some moto spanish mamas so I have to work my spanish.Also realised that I need a way of getting aroind so I am off to buy a bike before I can invest in a car.On the plus side I did get an assistantship so no fees for this brother!But the house that I am living in at the moment is dirt cheap and as a consequence really crappy, no phone,no telly,no cable,no washing machine.I guess that is why I am paying only 130 something bucks also my roomie is not all that.At least i have gotten anutha digs elsewhere for double the price but it comes furnished and with most of the other stuff minus cable but hey you have to lose some to get some.Well the akataas are having a bbq this afte so i am shamelessly going so that i do not have to cook jioni.They also have some nice chics lets see if a connection can be made.
