This last week has been a busy one. Last Tuesday and Wednesday we got the chance to go into some local schools around the Lushoto region to do our teaching practicums. The first day i was kind of nervous until i got into the classroom and the kids were awesome!! there were 50 of them in the class. They thought i was especially funny and kept asking me to sing Rhiana songs for some reason they thought i could sing. The school we were teaching at was a new school and had only been open for 2 years. there were no glass windows or doors at the school, it took the phrase limited resources to a whole new level. After teaching there I am so ready to be at my site and meet my kids!
The final part of the journey to my site has started. I survived the 13 hour bus ride yesterday just barely. We stopped 4 times the entire time. It was weird we knew we were going tog et a stop for lunch but once we got tot he place we found out we had 10 minutes to get food and go to the bathroom. This "stop" we will call it was a madhouse every bus that is going south stops there because the drivers get free food. I barely made it back on the bus as it was pulling away. We stayed last night in Mbeya which is the closest big city to where I will be living. It seems like a pretty hopping place. In a little bit we will be meeting our district education officer who will take us to our sites. I am really hoping we get internet up there and be able to get electricity somehow. Thats all for now I will update once I get to my site and figure things out
