Really, I'm Alive

Sorry I have failed at posting regularly, but now that the World Cup has started, I have been really busy. Last night was the USA-Ghana game. I told myself that I would cheer for Ghana because i'm here, but as the match started, I just couldn't do it. I ended up cheering for the US. Sadly, they let me down. It was a bittersweet ending. I didn't stick around after to participate in the merriment, mostly because it has been getting worse every time. Plus I had a massive headache, made even worse by those stupid vuvuzelas. Seriously, whoever thought those were a good idea to give to thousands of people should be shot. Last weekend, someone decided to start the pre-game celebration at 6 a.m. Luckily it didn't start until 9 this weekend. Needless to say, I was not too happy to be awoken by that noise. It's even worse than the stinking roosters (which I think may have been eaten. I have not heard them for a while. Thank goodness!).

Anyway, things are good here. My time is now over halfway gone. Many of the volunteers are getting ready to leave, and the realization that my time is coming soon makes me very sad. If I had the money (or a real, paying job) I would totally try to stay longer. But, alas, I am poor and must go home and try to become a real-live adult. Psh, I think it's overrated. I will be very sad to leave my classes though. They are so sweet and I love teaching them. Speaking of teaching, I have gone from teaching 4 classes to teaching 11. My friend started working with me, so we team teach. The new classes are in the JSS level, so we are able to go more in-depth and I can actually tell that they are listening and learning from me. It's been really fun, though, and kinda funny since I have always hated having to talk in front of people. I feel really comfortable being up in front and teaching them now though. Yeah.

Anyway, I've done a lot that I have not yet had time to write about, but hopefully I will be able to do so at some point soon. Don't hold your breath.

My favorite quote so far: "What you don't know won't hurt you...until you get diarrhea." Yeah, that pretty much sums it up...
