18 days till im in the USA

Yeah, it is starting to hit me that I'm leaving soon, I said good bye to my students and it was sad cause we just started to enjoy each other out side of the class room. We had fun and played games but I didn't have enough time to really see the children out side of the teaching zone. I got hugs and good byes from them, I will miss them. But now I have to grade over 100 exam papers for math, so far the 11 that I started with nobody got more than 8 points total out of 100 possible points. I wanted to cry. Today I played with the dogs and sat with them in the rain, I enjoy having them around they are sweet, although the kids here may think I'm a little nutty cause they have fleas and ticks, but I take a shower here an actual shower.

Did I mention I switched families, this one is very american sonon stop water internet etc.

So I'm sad to leave my baba godfrey not my new family since I'm only here for 9 more days or so. I can't wait to go home though, but I'm almost reluctant to want to get on the plane, my family here is soo kind and sweet that Africa has become my home. I'm in such like a mode here that I feel like I belong here I may have to come back soon.

Rainy day

I got up late today :-( not a good start so I was rushing out the door, when I realized that there was RAIN. Grabbed a cup of tea and tried to drink it but instead I burned my lounge :-(. Hurried to school only to find that I really didn't need to be here! because I didn't have an exam to watch over and It was very slow with students too. So now I'm sitting in the teachers room alone walked into classes but not much I can do. Its poring rain and there is gross flying magit things all around and Frogs all around. Two things I do not like. I'm cold, maybe ill run to get my other jacket and a cup of tea.... I only live across the street. Well in the mean time I am reading and watching some weird news thing. I bought some gifts the other day and today I go back to pick up some more things. I'm so lonely my baba is hard at work I will survive. I think I will fetch my jacket and some food. Yay!

the last 25 days.

The days are winding dow for me here. This week the students have exams so I don't do much and next week we just say good bye to the students. I may cry. I haven't made friends with my students but I have so much fun with them and seeing them work hard together. I am so sad that I will be leaving my baba and brother to be with a new family because my family is leaving. I just am sad to be leaving them. But when I get home I will be happy to be in my own bed again.

There are so many new things to share show. I just want to get home but I'm not really wanting to leave my new family here. So many great funny memories.

Mount Meru hiking weekend.

Mount Meru, a tall mountain but not as tall as Killimanjaro! So this past weekend,our group was to hike iT (not all the way thank goodness) just to the first camp site a good 5 hour hike but we made it in 3 hrs. Straight up with the occasional leveling with altitude. When we finally got to the camp site it was sooo cold! We were instructed to pack light so I did so one outfit long under wear and little essentials. But apparently too light, I was freezing that night wrapped tight in my sleeping bag all bundled up as much as possible. The next morning camp and after breakfast and packing we were off.

Point: on the way up and down we had porter (people who carry cases) so on the way up they had my pack.

So when we left the site I decided to take my pack since we were going down! BIG mistake, a little more than halfway, my knees were shaking more than usual my ankles were weak and I fell down hill. One hand cut a tiny bit. I was in the back of the groupt so our leader bandaged meup, and the guard on the back was so worried that after he made it his job to watch over me and make sure I was ok and if I slipped he grabbed my pack and picked me up before I hit the ground. His name Joshua, he is soo kind. After that I made it down and was feeling a lot better.

30 Days

So I'm so excited to get home. Last night my mama here left for a trip :-( I miss her she said good bye to me because she won't be home till I leave! I wanted to cry. Any way I'm at school currently about to drink tea. I want to be with my friends. The interns are nice but I relize more and more how different we are. I'm gunna be happy to be home and have my friends around.

Saw a puppy the other day! Oh and my leader (nicole) got a puppy here.

dear american airlines

Decided to give my book another read and after every time it gets better. Very upset that I didn't bring my augusten burroughs books. Probably for the best though it may have put me to a sad depression and made me think of home more. Oh well going to try and hunt for more books here this weekend maybe. I can try to put up photos I have here on my phone but I'm not sure it will work.
