Scary place Africa and the Middle East is at the moment. Granted, there are things that need fixing over here but compared to some places, we've got it pretty good.

I've been thankful the past several weeks that I didn't go to school in Kenya (and that my friend's family is on the OTHER side of Kenya). First Al-Shabaab kills nearly 150 people at the university in Garissa and then a lot of people were hurt and at least one person died when a generator exploded and caused a stampede at a university in Nairobi because they thought it was Al-Shabaab.
