TUESDAYS

Well it is now Wednesday, but my Tuesdays are so busy that I didn't have time to post yesterday. My typical Tuesday is wake up at 5:00am and leave my house by 6:30 or so.to walk to work. On most mornings I get to see an amazing sunrise, but yesterdays was just amazing. I then one again have prayer at 7:00am and then 6th grade homeroom. After that I have about 45 min to plan and set up for the day, I then start out by teaching 5th grade. I then have another small break, before I go for the rest of the day. I have 6th grade, and then a lunch break, but yesterday we had a meeting to discuss things that we can do to manage one of the classes better. I then have an 1hr and 30 min class with a few 10th graders and finish the day with 7th and 8th grade.





Normally I then have soccer practice after school with my U11 boys team, but last night I had a prayer meeting with SIL. Once a month they change the prayer time at the office so the SIL HOPAC teachers can go and have a time of prayer with them. It is good to catch up on what is happening around Tanzania in terms of Bible translation.





We have also just recently started Tuesday night T-Square night. T-Square is a little outdoor resturant that sells meat for cheap. It is also just good to get out for a meal and be able to sit down and chat about how are week is going. It is also very cheap so that is nice, although last night we found out they just raised their prices so that was a little disappointing.





On the way back from T-Square we decided to walk to buy luku (electricity). Now this is a very interesting process, which is always amuses me when we have to do it. So each house has a power box in it that you can plug number into, and on the power box it tells you how much electricity that you have. As it starts to get low you have a number that you have to take, along with some money to the luku place. In the past we have done this no problem. We just walk up to the little window and hand them the money and the number. Well last night I think everyone needed luku. We stood in line for about 45min and experienced some very interesting things as we stood there. We were going to walk home, but decided that we no longer had the energy so we got a bajaj. Our bajaj that we got was great, because as we started off he began to blare music. It was one of those moments of yeah I actually live here :)





So yeah that is my Tuesday pretty much a nonstop day but good things along the way. Hopefully in the next few days I will have some good stories to tell about things in the classroom. Today is not as busy of a day, which I am thankful for because I started not feeling so well last night.
