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, but he was no where to be found. I waited for him in his office, after 30 minutes I decided to give up and just went to do my own thing. I had some music books to mark which meant I had a good excuse to go to the music room and practice some guitar. I took breakfast and then continued to practice/mark until lunch. After lunch I offered my wonderful grading services to my friend Teacher Pamela and did that for the rest of day. Pretty boring school day, the only exciting thing was the new food I got to try: a watery corn based soup that I’m not much a fan of. After the bus route home I hung out with my buddy, driver Willium, during the hour of remedial—no lessons I could help in and Pius leaving for Ash Wednesday service left me with some nice free time.

Bus Troubles

On the evening bus route we had a bit of excitement! We were halfway through the route and had just finished dropping a girl off when the common clunk-clunk-clunk of a new manual driver stopped us dead. Unfortunately it wasn’t a newbie driver that caused this, but a broken clutch. We sat for about an hour waiting for someone to bring us a new bus we could use to finish the route. Abby and I got home around 8:30. I went straight to shower and then had dinner at 9:00. Rebecca and Jovin were really taking their time with homework, so I wasn’t able to go to bed until around 10:00. Despite the lost sleep, I’m feeling great this morning!
