Short and sweet.
Began teaching this week. 6th grade English and Math. I wish i knew how to make better lesson plans. I have been just kind of winging it so far...more planning will happen this weekend.
Pictures of:
- the new guest house under construction (right outside my during the day...but they need to finish 30 rooms before Augustwindow and kind of loud at times 20 for the Jubilee!)-Inside the guest house under construction
- Praying Mantis and Charlie being scared of it at the door to the computer room!
-Students in the Computer class (open lab time where Charlie, and sometimes I, answer questions if the students have them)
-The building at the trade school where the computer lab is (with internet via Satellite!)
No class tomorrow (or today) because half of my students were on a field trip to a National Park to see animals. so the rest just get to hang back and have fun free days...didn't find this out until i got to the school this morning and one of the other teachers told me i shouldn't teach because half of the students were gone until Friday :) So i will head to Songea tomorrow to shadow the Peace Corps volunteer there, Simba, teaching high school Physics.
all for now. thanks for the comments on the other posts!

Ben Thank you so much for all of your news It has been so great to follow you on this journey and go to places that I may never see. This is a lifetime experience that you will always remember. I enjoyed seeing your room and the sites that you have seen. The bus trip sounds like quite a trip but better than I thought it was going to be. It looks like you need to find your own way I wish you well and my prayers are with you always Love Grandma
Hey Ben! So after I emailed you the other day I realized the site that I had bookmarked was only for the one day you had posted and noticed today that you had been posting even more! So, I apologize for my lack of attention - LOVE the pictures - it's sooo sweet that we are able to see where you live - I have to admit your room and space is nice - and I love the survivor bandana - you really made that your own space, I can see so much of you r personality already! It made me smile!! The computer lab and everything looks so nice! Wow! Good luck on your lessons - will have to let Laura and Sharon know - maybe they can give you some lesson planning advice :) Take care, you are in my thoughts and prayers! Emily
For the record, I was only posing as "being afraid." It was actually awesome to see a praying mantis. That is all.
