general stuff
Hey everyone,
First things first: huge congratulations to Ivy Grace and Rob for their engagement. Can't wait to celebrate with you guys!
Well, just finished my first week of teaching 45 min. lessons, and overrall i think it went real well. The kids are good kids for the most part, but it's realy easy for the class to get out of hand. I had 55 students! with ages between 9 and 16!! Whenever we try group work or games, I have to be real mean and yell a little, but they behave.
In a week, Paul and I find out where we're gonna be placed, and that's really exciting. It's all we talk bout here, all the volunteers have their ideal spot, and it'll be interesting to see how things work out. Paul and I are leaning towards Nampula province, but we really dont have that good of a reason (except climbing, cashews and shrimp:-) Well, we'll let you know next blog entry!
Hope all is good with everyone!
Love,
Eli
PS: we're gonna go buy a guitar today (maybe after two years, I'll be able to play something other that "Downtown")
