July 10, Home Early


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!
