DAY 44

Yesterday flew by quickly. I’m having a hard time remembering what I even did. In the morning I drove Jovin and Rebecca to school. We were late as usual. As we were leaving the house at 8:30, I asked Jovin, “What time do classes start today?” and he told me 8:00am. Aye, aye, aye. At […]

DAY 43

Eventful day yesterday! We’ve finally got our regular bus back! You can see very clearly how we regressed throughout the past couple of weeks. I’m happy to say that this endeavor has really showed me that luxury and comfort are relative. I never thought I’d be happy to be sitting in a bus with broken

DAY 42

Ahhhh! Six weeks! Yesterday was stellar! Homesickness has gone (for the time being). Weather is holding up! All is good! The morning started off in a bit of a mess. Two days ago our extra bus broke down in the middle of the route and hadn’t been fixed by yesterday, leaving us stuck with this

DAY 41

Yesterday was fun. In the morning we were still stuck with the small bus; every day we’ve been promised that the next day we’ll have our bus back, but it hasn’t happened yet. When I got to school it was time for my daily morning meeting with Pius to give me my schedule for the

DAY 40

Yesterday I woke up very tired. It was the first day where I really wished I was back home in my own bed and could just go back to sleep. Luckily, it was only momentary; I was up and moving with energy and enthusiasm seconds after the alarm went off. Abby and I are chronically

DAY 39

Yesterday I was very happy to be going back to school. I’m comfortable there now, and I always have something to do, even if it’s a boring task like marking exams or books (which is what I did for most of the morning). Pius, the head teacher/class 7 English teacher, had me mark his class

DAY 38

Yesterday I would say I read for the majority of the day. In the morning I woke up at my regular time, but everyone else was sleeping in, so I had some free time to read. It was a day of chores. I did my laundry and luckily it wasn’t raining—I think it’s just now

DAY 37

Yesterday was slow until it wasn’t, and then slow again. I woke up around 6 as I do on pretty much every day. Abby and I left for school at 6:50ish to go on the bus route to pick kids up for remedial classes. We didn’t have to walk, thankfully; our driver picked us up

DAY 36

In the mornings we’ve been having to do two trips with the school bus. At the start of the week our regular bus was taken to the shop for some repairs and we were stuck using an extra small bus (both extra and extra small, suffering from the first because of the latter). Our regular

DAY 35

For not being very busy, I haven’t been finding much spare time. Yesterday was one of those days where you blink and it’s over. Pretty normal morning; woke up with some stretching and a news podcast, then a nice breakfast. Abby (a school teacher taken in and living with Lucas) and I were quite late
