Sorry for the long absence and Daily routine

What Ive been doing so far.

I've just completed the fifth week of training and things are going great so far. Sorry Ive not updated at all, but are days are pretty full, and it takes a fair bit of time to get to the internet. To give you an idea of what its like here, heres my typical day monday through thursday.

6:00 am Wake up, although I've usually been awakened by some random noise by this time. I usually end up laying in bed till like 630ish

630, breakfast of egg, cucmber and bread with tea

715ish, leave for school on my fresh Peace Corps issue bike

730 arrive at school, I like to study a bit or review the lesson I have planned for the
half hour before the day starts

8-920, internship teaching, I teach a form three class two days, roughly equivalent to 11th grade, and a form 1 class two days, roughly equivalent to 9th grade

920-3ish, kiswahili class interspersed with tea and chai breaks

3ish, return home and either study, prepare lessons, read, or meet some friends at the bar next door for a beer or soda and sometimes a game or two of cribbage.

6ish, we dont have electricity so at this time I usually stop studying and will hang out in the kitchen with mama david, I help cooking a little, and have learned to cook some tanzanian dishes, but my specialty is pili pili, which is like a hot pepper sauce we put on everything and is fantastic. It goes great with rice beans and spinach.

8ish,dinner time

830ish, pumzika time, (aka rest time) then I have a bucket bath, brush the teeth, and am usually asleep a little after 9, to start the cycle all over again.

Fridays and saturdays are different. Fridays we go to cct, where all of our training groups come together and we have sessions on everything from health to how to teach. Saturdays are either cct or kiswahili days and sundays are free days, that are usually spent doing laundry. This is also when ill go to town to use the internet and buy tp and anything else I might need.

Thats all for now, but there will be more soon.
