I swoon over your ability to reserve most of your judgment, dude. Have I asked you again yet if you got any college app responses yet? Am I getting annoying with my repeated curiosity in this matter?
Sometimes I don't know if I'm e-mailing you about these things in an attempt to get you to talk me out of them, to see how much I can shock you or to see how encouraging you might be. I should think about that.
I think on a scale of one to ten I'm going to put this trip at a steady five. There are two planes I'll need to fly on, with one stop over and a total 20-something hours of travel time so that's a risk. There were terrorist attacks in like '98 and '02 but I don't think there have been since then. Technically we're staying in Nairobi and traveling out from there. I'll be in a large group complete with guides and also bodyguards (how cool is that?!). But there's also all those immunizations and crazy illness factors. I'll be sure not to drink the water.
So we'll say 5 due to possible unexpected mishaps.
