Electricity...not always! :)

So yesterday was our first experience with losing power...a lot. Before we left MI, we were warned that the power goes out. Not sure why, maybe they are using too much power or they are not paying the bills. Either way, the power goes out. Yesterday, at the end of the school day, we lost power a few times. The school has a generator, so it isn't that bad. The classes have a lot of windows, so the lights are rarely on anyway. After school got out, I chased down some random kid to walk with me home. His name was Issac, and I think he was the least thrilled out of all the students I have chased down to walk with me home. Once I started talking about schooling in America, he was interesting. (Many students here go to the U.S. for college.) So we got back after our nice little chit chat, and I went to change as I was sweating like a pig in a bacon factory. Oh, when walking to school yesterday, I had some girls tell me we are going INTO the hot season. This should be fun.We changed and headed out to seminar. After that, we had some dinner with rice and some beef thing and also some hush puppies like thing. They were pretty good. Needless to say, I had a lot of those and very little rice. After dinner, we headed back to our area of the village. An internet tech was sent over to help us with internet, but it still doesn't work any better than before he came over. Oh well. We have internet just not as often as we are use to. (Well expect for myself and one other person. We have a lot of internet access at school.) So here we are hanging out outside, just talking. I went to go to the kitchen to get something to drink and as I am about to step foot inside, the power goes out. Very happy I was not inside yet. Came back outside to talk and wait for the power. Also, after the power went out, the kids that live in the village screamed VERY loud for a VERY long time. It wasn't annoying or anything. I just could not believe how long they screamed. I didn't think losing power to them would be such a shock, then again, they are kids. If there is a time to scream, they will take it. The power went in and out a few more times. It seemed like it went out every time one of the girls here with me went to shower. Eventually she gave up. Also, the sky here is so interesting. It is like a purple, orange, pink color and very little stars. When we went to Mole, the sky looked way different. It looked more like a sky we are use to with the dark, dark sky and lots of starts. The sky here just looks different in that it almost looks stretched. Everything looks oblong, kind of cool. I am going to try to get some pictures, but I don't know if they will capture what I am talking about. Anyway, the power stayed on for most of the night. We lost it again about 5 AM but it came back on a short while later. We lost it again during the school day, but just a short while. Well, that is all for now.
