Yesterday was pay day!! Yahoo!! I think I have said this
already, but I really like the cfa (that’s what the money is called here)
conversion rate because I now have 343,000 cfa to my name… it makes me feel so
rich.
I just
still can’t believe they pay me!! Well, sometimes I can. Like, for example,
today.. when the power went out and the generator didn’t even work. Right in the middle of the day. So, no fans even!! It was sooo hot in the classroom, so I decided
to take my class outside where there was at least a little bit of a breeze to
finish our day! But, that wasn’t even
really that bad.. just a little bit inconveniencing, but the kids loved being
able to work outside.
Funny story
for the day: My kids tried to guess how old I was on the first day of school.. I
didn’t tell them because that would just ruin the fun. They all took their guesses, which ranged
everywhere from 20-28, and two of them guessed correctly. I think that none of them wanted to guess the
same number.. because they couldn’t be copycats, so they just guessed one more
than what they really thought. But
anyway, I keep telling them that I’m old
so they have to talk louder… or that I’m old so I don’t know their new lingo..
or other various reasons why I’m soo old.
Today, one boy said: “You’re not even married yet, so you can’t be old!”
so, there you have it… all you married people… you are officially old. J
Today after
working out (yeah, I’m posting about it again) the girls said I could come over
to their apartment if I wanted to hang out!! Mission accomplished! The only
reason I was working out was to become friends with them, and now that I have
succeeded, I will never work out again! Haha just kidding.. but in all honesty,
90% of the reason I was going was to make friends. And they have a wii at their house!!! And I just
really like them, they are fun. J
I don’t
like not being able to understand other peoples’ language.. I’m pretty sure a
group of people made fun of me on my walk home today. Sigh… but Tafa told me he liked my
shoes! So that was a good thing.
Tonight, around
8:00, I was cutting up a delicious, juicy mango getting ready to go to bed.. (told you I was old) when Ruthanne came into
the kitchen and said “Lauren, do you want to go to n’ice cream with Danielle
and her dorm girls?” Danielle is
Ruthanne’s sister who I think is just great!
She is a dorm mom of 9 girls.. and before that she taught middle
school/high school English.. so anyway.. I never say no to ice cream, even when
I have a delicious mango waiting for me.. so we went, and it was a good
decision! The traffic was crazy, and it
was super busy in the ice cream shop.. and I don’t know why I didn’t buy a
liter of ice cream… I just got a tiny bowl. Ugh. Oh well. Next time, I will
know better. Actually, I did think about
getting the liter tub but I chickened out when I started to order.
Tomorrow the
fruit man is coming again! I can’t wait!!!! And then I’m going grocery
shopping, and then probably hanging out in my classroom for a while! Just in case
you wanted to know my schedule..
