		<description><![CDATA[There it went.&#160; Two years of teaching “Creative Arts” has officially come to a close.&#160; It’s a melancholy feeling, and it’s only amplified by the circumstances.
The way my schedule works, I teach both Classes 2 and 3 on Thursday, one after the other, before lunch.&#160; Today, the Class 3 classroom was being painted courtesy of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Corruption is part of day-to-day life in Kenya, and it’s a topic I’ve largely avoided, since as a Peace Corps Volunteer blogger, it’s important to respect the Peace Corp’s partner organizations by not talking about the terrible things they do.
I will say this, though: corruption lowers my motivation.
Corruption in education exists on different scales, and [...]]]></description>

This one’s for you Elise, from the Nairobi nature walk:

ErinRose and I ate lunch near the rhino and saw dozens of baboons wander past us:
