I've got 8 and half minutes to write out this blog... I finally figured out whow to post (blogger.com is in German or Dutch over here for some reason) I won't have internet at my school for another two weeks at least, and I haven't had the net since my last post, so that partly explains the lack of posts, which I will post more of now that I live in Mafinga (it's kind of a town). Let's see, on July 3rd we killed a goat, or better yet I watched as a few of the villagers killed a goat like they had done it a thousand times before. They held the goat's mouth shut so it wouldn't scream, I thought that was nice. On July 4th we ate it. It was good. 5 minutes left (yes the net is that slow) I started work on the 16th, after I had come to Mafinga thinking there was a teacher's meeting the previous meeting... there wasn't even though that's what they told me. I've learned that this sort of thing is the usual for Africa, so no Mike Lewis' here. I got sick this week, but nothing serious- just an excuse to stay in bed for half a week. Teaching is amazing. It's my first experience teaching so I'm learning as I go and I have no idea what I am doing, but the students don't seem to mind because I think they think I'm cool, which works out nice for me. I knew I'd fit in with the 5th and 6th grade crowd anyway. 2 minutes left... I'll post more later, but I just wanted to give an update... when I have net at the school I'll put up more pictures. I promise it will be less then a month before my next post, maybe a week so stay tuned. I'm out for now.
