Monday Morning, Who Knew

Monday Morning

Feb 21

This morning I needed to go into town to get my modem loaded up with airtime so I can get online.  Edna called a friend from church, Mike, to come and take me to town and back. Mike has a motorcycle so we hopped on and drove into town to the Orange store. Mike was the second person to ask me if where I was from if we had motorcycles. I guess he hasn’t heard of Harley Davidson. 

Got to town in one piece (Alice told Mike not to go fast, darn it) and came back and finally got online. WOW it’s been awhile and now I know I’m addicted to the Internet! OH brother just what I need, a fix with a computer. LOL

Went to Legacy schools today and taught 8th grade English, then I walked back up to Kiboment AIC Secondary school where I taught my first class there. I have 60 student’s in one classroom. I’m teaching Literature and Composition right now and we just began a essay.  I am reading the first assignment, a paragraph on a contemporary Kenyan issue, that will eventually lead to a 5 paragraph essay. I think I’m nuts!  The classroom was packed today. and I only have 40 minutes with all of them. Should be an interesting time until the quarter ends. One guy in class looks about 20, but he said he was 18. He’s 18 and he’s in the 9th grade or Form 1 in Kenyan educational system. OH and he’s writing about cattle stealing. Apparently it’s common here in this area and it greatly affects the economy. Who knew? Not me. lol
