Tuesday June 8,2010- Zanzibar day 15

Another bright and early day for us.

We started the same sequence of events as Monday, only we were teaching standard 6 this time which were 13-15 year olds. It went fairly the same as yesterday only the kids were less on task and a little harder to keep the attention of, plus Mary, Estela, Kessi and I have taught every day since our snorkling trip last Wednesday, besides the planning day Estela and i took so we were drained of everything we had.

We walked back and I for the fourth day in a row had missed te availability of lunch and was too tired to be angry about it. I just closed my eyes and waited for them to tell me something else had arrived and yearning for my day off tomorrow. I daydreamed about how skinny Id be when I got home, and how good Id look in my swimsuit. But that daydream also had montages of me eating a whole cows worth of filet mignon and artichokes. Oh my god, and cucumbers. What I wouldn't do for a cucumber right now.

I digress.

We ended up getting some more pasta which I was completely content with. We heard at lunch that we would not really be having a day off tomorrow because the women from the village who ditched us 3 times had decided they wanted to be taught on wednesday and I nearly lost my mind. Id be fine with it if half of the groups had not had a wonderful day off today with sleeping in and rest. Besides, I'm nearly out of money and I leave for Arusha on thursday and need to get to an ATM before that. Besides I would have to change my day around for 5 minutes of penis talk to women who obviously already know what the penis does. We bargained with the group who stayed home today to do it for us tomorrow an they obliged so thankfully I think I will be having my day off tomorrow.

I'm planning on finding some nutella and crackers to keep me occupied while here without food.

I'm excited to go to arusha and see the orphanage this weekend. Me, Kristie, Clara, Yao, Estela and Marnee are also going on a safari which I feel like I can't miss since I'm in fricken Africa. I can't wait to be at the orphanage most of all though.
