Just a Little More

Now that spring break is over, I am on the last leg of teaching. The school system here is seperated into trimesters and those are then seperated into sequences that are 6 weeks long. But, in reality, they are not 6 weeks long. The vacations and holidays take away most of the time and let's not forget the inefficency of the system itself. The sixth sequence for me is actually only 3 weeks long, 2 weeks of review and then a test the following week.

However, for me, 3 weeks is too long. I'm looking forward to the U.S., I can't believe it's almost been a year already.

I really don't have too much to write about...I think the dog is pretty much house trained now (at least at my house he is) and I've been able to make my house look like someone lives here and is comfortable. Recently we've discovered a restraunt that makes pizza (and it's good but expensive).

The rainy season finally started, which was great for a day when all the dust changed to mud. Now, when it rains you are pretty much trapped where ever you may be when it starts. That's mostly been at my own home, but i'm sure it there will be other places. When a big storm comes in they usually cut the power, and that happens just about everyday. I can travel now and my skin won't turn orange, but the road can be treacherous at points and you think you are going to die. They stack things so high on the bush taxi's you think you're going to tip over. They already have a high center of gravity, but all you can do is laugh about it, otherwise you probably shouldn't be here.

I'll write again soon, maybe with something a little less boring.
