DAY 21

Missed Bus

Busy busy yesterday. We started off by missing the bus. I got into an argument with Jovin that we needed to walk to school, but he said he wasn’t allowed to walk. I thought this was him being lazy and upset, but in fact he was right and we ended up getting driven by his mom and being on time!

Computer Room (still under renovation)

I spent my day between the dusty and quiet office where I finished exam grading and the computer room. It wasn’t all bad, I turned on some music and got to putting over 500 scores into excel by hand; it took about 3 hours and now I can type numbers with my eyes closed! Mid school day was spent with Maggie and Sarah again. Maggie had a lot of information about the program (Global StoryBridge) that she needed to get through, so we spent a while just listening to her.

Dagaa na Ugali

For lunch we had dagaa (small dried fish) and it’s the first meal I’ve had that I haven’t enjoyed. I normally love fish, but seeing a full baby fish and chewing on it like jerky was quite off putting. After lunch I had a meeting with a teacher who wanted my help making an inventory and budget sheet for his small shop business. I stayed up until midnight working on this project after dinner at home; I did something similar back when I worked at Ben and Jerry’s but this was a good refresher on excel. I stayed at school until 6ish working on finishing the exam stuff only to find a couple scores were missing and this morning I’m going to have to really finish it (What a long process just for exam scoring!). When I got home Jovin insisted on playing some soccer. I was so tired but it was nice to do something active after sitting most of the day. And despite being really tired and having stayed up later than normal, I still struggled to fall asleep last night. I think because this was the first time in 3 weeks I had altered my bedtime by much, my body was confused and didn’t know that I wanted to go to sleep. Today is sports and games (previous Fridays it was skipped due to exams and/or schedule confusion) and I have to be on my A game for volleyball, so no being tired!
