Hang On

7/May/2011

Time warp. I keep thinking it’s 2010, and when someone asks me how old I am, I pause. 20…..something? Someone the other day asked me when I arrived in country. September….2009, really? This is really messing with me! All I know for certain is my service is over in 6 months and I’ll be coming home for good.

Things have been going…you know. More skin rashes, more petty theft, more sexual harassment. School has been going well. My 6th graders had a test last week, and the majority of them passed with flying colors! For those that got 100%, we are raffling off a kitten. Because you can do that here. I’ll have their parents sign their test, then they’ll come over to my house after school ( I live a block away) and get the kitty. That’ll leave me with just 1 kitty, and the mama, having already given one away last week.

The high schoolers are another story. They’re acting like it’s the end of the year or something. Maybe it’s the heat that’s making everyone mad. The rainy season is supposed to start any day now. Annnny day now. It’ll cool things down, and make things green again and get us out of this ugly sahara looking desert phase we’ve got going on now.
