Another Post...

Not much has happened since the last post...After school I walked back with a few girls. They gave me some more insight about their lives. Very interesting. They also talked with me about hair, again very interesting. I think if there was one word to describe the trip this far, it would be interesting. After we walked back, I found my fellow CMU-ers and we headed over to the pool. Boy was this interesting. The rule is that each one of us can only bring one student into the pool. We were told this before we left, so this was not a surprise to us. We were also told we would have to make a list because so many students would want to go. Sure thing, we will. Well yesterday, we started walking over to the pool. No students to be seen. There was 4 of us already at the pool and 4 more of us heading over. We seen one little girl, Amanda, who we said if you get your suit you can go. She runs back, but never comes to the pool. No big deal. Then we had a little boy following us. Doesn't say a word, but has his bathing suit. No big deal, he can go. So finally we get to the pool, the 4 of us and the little boy. We walk into the pool area and suddenly there are 8 kids in the pool. Interesting. It was like they were hiding. I have no idea where they came from. So, our little boy could not go swimming. He was okay with it. He was just going to sit on the side next to the pool. So, occasionally we would look over there and he was sitting on the first step. We would tell him to get out, which he did. After swimming for an hour, we had to get out to head to dinner. That was a challenge. The students did NOT want to get out. We all head to get our teacher voices out and lay down the law. Not what I expected. It took us 30-40mins to get the now 9 kids out of the pool. The little boy that followed us was soaking wet...apparently he found his way into the pool. After that, we went to dinner and played on the computers then sat outside and talked for awhile. Very nice. I went to bed early because I was very sleepy last night. Woke up this morning had some amazing toast and cream cheese again! Love it! OH! Dinner last night was AMMMAAAAZZZZZINNNNG! It as fried fish...no bones, heads, or tails and potatoes cut into very thick fries. (I think there is a name for those but I don't know it.) We also had coleslaw. We were told not to eat fresh vegetables, but we were also told anything made for us in the village was safe to it. Most of us tried it, haven't gotten sick. (Knock on wood) It was darn good meal. By far my favorite. Alright, that is all for now. Just hanging out at school. Wednesday's are my SUPER slow down. School starts at 7:30 and ends at 3:05 or 3:45. My teacher has a break from 7:30-1:45. I have some time on my hands.
Also, Jess, thanks for the posts. I love to read them! Makes me feel like people are really reading this. Love you!
