Well today was the last day of school, apart from tomorrow which is parent teacher day (and a complete waste of time for meg and i - but we have to go) so, i think i mentioned ealier about the orphanage Boona Baana that we had visited.. well we have been going there twice a week for a while and Monday was our last visit.. it was pretty sad... the kids didnt really care though because they have volunteers coming and going constantly.. so it was a bit of a shut down... haha but its what we were expecting.. also we have been tutoring a staff member from the school, unfortuantly we werent able to have a "last lesson" because she wasnt able to make it for the last 4... so that was a bit of a fizzle!!! haha actually this whole week has been a bit of a fizzle.. yesterday was meant to be a sports day... but it got cancelled before anything had even started because it was too hot.. which basically means nothing was planned or organised for it!
i'll be honest i'm not in the mood for writing so it probably wont be a very long entry... haha
last weekend we took Shakira, the girl who lives with us , (she's 4) swimming! i dont think she has ever been before because she was clinging onto meg and i sooo hard!!! haha she was adorable though, i just wish we had taken her sooner!!
Today at school we had an assembly.. (2 hrs late... but thats how it is) and Meg and i had to make a speech, i was so nervous! and we got given a present.. 2 kangas each! which is good because they are nothing like i would have chosen.. but they are really what they wear! problem is.. i've bought that much stuff i hope it all fits!
It is Meg's last weekend here.. she leaves on sunday :( but i go to Uganda on sunday :) theres 5 others who are also going, so it should be loads of fun, we're going to go white water rafting on the nile.. and bungee jump!!! so i cant wait for that.. not long after that i'll be home!!! its crazy how its just crept up on us!! i dont no how it happened!!!
I'm pretty excited/nervous/sad/happy to be going home.. it just doesnt quite feel real yet...
But after the class partys today.. and when the bell went.. i was just trying to make the students stay behind.. haha it was pretty sad.. im not going to see them again.. and if i do they will be alot older!!
People have already started asking whats your favourite thing about Tanzania, what was the best experience.. or something similar.. i just dont no how to answer it, its just all the little things... like how one of the kids saitoti who could barely read last term, can read.. and quite well.. and he got 60% on his maths exam :) :) :)... he's 5.. but he has matured sooooooo much since when we first got here!!! there are just those kids who you love and the ones you hate.. (well not hate.. but frustrate you to the stage of wanting to pull your hair out.) then they run up and give you a hug.. so yes.. dont be expecting any life changing stories when i get back.. because i hate to tell you.. but i dont think i have changed too much, maybe it will be more obvious if i have when i return home.. but im still the same! haha although i have gained a bit of weight! haha..
