I wake-up excited. Through friends of friends I have met a few people in the education development sector who have informed me of work opportunities and have passed on a few contacts. I have been pleasantly surprised by the attitude here of helping new comers find work. I will to do the same as I build my career.
To start the day, I head to Javahut for breakfast. The person whom I'm dating is visiting Nairobi on R&R and is staying with me for a few days. It's comforting to have a companion although only for a brief time as I adjust to my new home. As I said before, relationships with other expats working in development are not simple but they are exciting and change daily. As a journalist friend who worked in the region during the chaos of the early 90s told me recenlty, "take each day one day at a time and look at each day as a new in your life." I think that's the best approach for where I am in my life.
