So I finished getting all of my shots today! Im not a fan of needles but they were too terrible. Im not going to lie though, the Typhoid vaccine HURT! both shot itself and my arm for a full day after. It felt like a tetnus shot on steroids. I was really nervous about getting the yellow fever vaccine because my dad had a really bad allergic reaction when he had to get his but I lucked out with only having a slight fever, thankfully.

Today in class we were discussing somethings to do after we leave the campsite and we get to travel around on our own. I would really like to do a trek through the Simien Mountains. I think the scenary looks absolutely incredible and I really hope I get the chance to go here before I must fly home.

we were also discussing a few of the things the group did last year and one of them was eat raw camel liver, an apparent delicacy. Personally, I dont think I would have been able to do that. I can't even eat Beef tartare and I prefer my steaks medium BUT who knows maybe the crazy whim will seize me. doubtful, but possible. One of the kids going this year, Andrew mentioned that there'd been an episode on bizarre foods where they talked about eating raw meat in Ethiopia - Andrew Zimmern is braver than me
