This past month has been crazy. It all started when I went to town to buy supplies for the rain water catchment project at school. I went in on a Saturday and met up with some other volunteers. We went to dinner in the evening and when we got back about an hour later all four of our computers were gone. The next two days we worked with police but nothing turned up. Frustrating.
So I got back to school a couple days later and had about 24 hours to quickly put together some notes and exercises for the students to do while I was at Pi day and the Shika hand over meeting. I also needed to instruct my second master and the mason about how to build the tower and the big tank for the project. Then I took off for Pi day. That took about a week. Then a few days in Morogoro for the Shika hand over meeting. During the meeting, I was informed that, as the warden of my region, I was to organize the site visits for the new group of health/agriculture volunteers coming to Iringa. Also, our midterm tests are this week, so during the meeting I was writing those exams to send to my school for printing.
I got back to school last Thursday evening, taught on Friday, did somemuch needed laundry, and on Sunday I went to Makambako to meet the new volunteers. This week has been a whirlwind of trying to get into the class for some review, entertaining a guest, showing the new volunteer his site (and helping with communication/transportation), organizing for his return to training, and checking in intermittently on the project at school. We started our midterms today and on Wednesday next week we will be finished and will be on easter break for about a week and a half.
It's been a weird month.
