Hujambo!

I’m just kidding, because there is nothing special about going back to school (haha?). We should have started classes over three weeks ago but the information never seems to get to all the right people at the right time. Our students always take a bit of extra time anyways. So we’re starting this week. I almost started today. Here’s the breakdown of classes I’ll be teaching:

• Web development I (HTML)
• Network essentials
• Operating systems II (Unix/Linux)

So at least the course count is down from last semester, where I had five classes for awhile there. I’ve taught the networking class three times already (or is it four?), so there’s no problem there, but teaching anything new is always a bit stressful. The course content isn’t anything difficult (not like teaching Object-oriented programming with C++ last semester), but making my own notes every night gets a bit tedious. I could get notes from the other teachers but I never really like the notes. My colleagues use more of a dictation style of teaching, where as I like to write short points on the board and then talk about them.

In other news, it’s been two years since the first post on this website. Back then it was still called Sara in Kenya. In other, other news, sarainkenya.org expires (goes “bye bye”) on May 14th, so go check it out if you have never seen it. You can browse the May, 2007 archives by clicking here: http://alaninkenya.org/2007/05

Update, May 15, 2009: I have saved a copy of the old sarainkenya.org here: http://thefro.org/sarainkenya.org

Most of you should recall that this website used to be located at sarainkenya.org, but when I returned to Kenya without Sara I relocated to alaninkenya.org. I designed a cheesy placeholder for the old website just in case any stragglers dropped by.

The site features a funny picture of me “hunting crabs” while on vacation in Kenya’s coastal city of Watamu. Sara is pictured with some fancy bread and a cute hat, taken during her dietetic internship at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.

Well that website expires on May 14th, 2008, so go check it out before it’s too late. Now is a good time to update your bookmarks as well. If May 14th has already passed you can now find Sara’s personal website at: http://barefootdietitian.com.

Until next time, adios!
