This
morning Sarah and I finally finished transcribing our five hours of tapes. It
is a great feeling to have them done. Once finished with that, Tino had asked
me to write a reflection on the focus group discussions for the use of our
sponsors and his own records. My overall review and feelings about the
discussions were positive with only a few suggestions for next time. After all,
I would not be using the focus group discussions for my own project if I did not
think they did a good job of capturing the necessary information. The rest of
the morning was spent doing random tasks and helping Sarah put together our
timeline from the activity we did with the farmers on day two. I was impressed
with how professional we were able to make everything look. Hopefully Tino will
be pleased.
We went to
lunch at Naivis again today. To my disappointment the store was not serving
spaghetti and I settled for potato wedges. They were decent, but not nearly as
good as the spaghetti I had a few days back. Craving fruit snacks, I asked
Sarah if Kenyan grocery stores carried such a thing. She said they should and
we went on a hunt to find them but came up empty handed. I settled for a piece
of chocolate cake instead, however, the taste did not even compare to any
delicious cake in America.
Our
afternoon was spent trying to start my GIS training. For some reason the sample
data did not download so I had to uninstall everything and try reinstalling the
software. Computers can cause such time consuming problems sometimes, but I
guess I also have to remember how much time they are capable of saving. I just
hope everything works tomorrow so Sarah and I can actually get started.
