Today we finished early—mostly just a language day/some
people actually taught classes. I won’t actually be teaching until Thursday
apparently. Tomorrow I will observe an English lesson, and then I will teach
the class the next day. I’m kind of happy about that so I can get a better idea
of how much the students know/comprehend.
I’m feeling pretty tired today. I actually passed out after
lunch for about 10 minutes and woke up when I started drooling on myself.
Pretty awesome! This week is kind of a big deal since we have a midterm
language exam and our internship. I’m nervous for both, and both are now on
Thursday. Woohoo!
My internet is being impossibly slow right now. Slug-paced.
It’s because I paid for the hourly plan last night (for 200 shillings…like 20
cents), but still have access today. There’s a glitch in the airtel system that
enables this to happen—basically 1 hour becomes 24 hours, but after the first 1
the speed is severely compromised. It’s almost unusable right now, but I did
manage to upload 160 photos last night, so sometimes the Internet works quite
well.
They’re making sweaters right now…I can hear the sound of
the little weaving machine they use. I need to go out and actually socialize.
Lately I haven’t been around as much as I should be.
I’m anxious to find out our site assignments even though we
won’t until July 27th. I’m very curious where I will be going and
who I will be close to/if I will be near any other volunteers. TZ is pretty
big, so we will be spread out.
Will write later! Hopefully with more interesting things to
say!
