***This is a scheduled post***
Monday 16th February 2015
Got up around 7:45. Got ready very
quickly and went out to breakfast. Feeling better after yesterday's
stressful evening, but still wobbly. Lots of confusion over
breakfast! It was meant to be at 8; then it got delayed to 8:30; then
it ended up being just after 8!
School. We did our sports event- AH and
I were in charge of the limbo. It was really fun and they seemed to
really enjoy it!! Team A won overall :)
After break, we played parachute games
with the Grade 8 students, which went down really well. The teachers
watched, so now they have a parachute and ideas of lots of games to
play as well :)
Had a shop stop. We all got bread, then
I got peanut chocolate spread as well. It was interesting... But the
bread was amazing!
During the daily afternoon break, we
all got bored, so decided to play Who Am I?. We played two round,
which took ages and filled up the time very well!! It was so so
funny!!
Off to Sports Day, which wasn't great-
it was too hot and claustrophobic. However, it was nice to see Fatou.
We started off in our teams (Green Team Dream Team!- myself, MW and
AH) but our group didn't have a teacher and things got quite
overwhelming, so we joined Blue Team (GS and SL, again no teacher).
GS was finding things difficult as someone in his team has taken
quite a shine to him- we're calling the woman 'GS's librarian', but
GS would like me to say that it's not his librarian, she's 'the
creepy weirdo smile lady, weird woman with hair like Medusa'. Anyway,
as a result of that we all
decided to move to Red Team. I sat with WS and MW, which was lovely.
Played Musical
Chairs- AH and I represented Green Team! We didn't win though :( MG
won, with JG second and GS third. It got very very violent towards
the end and both MG and JG ended up on the floor!
After Musical
Chairs, the students formed a circle with us in the centre and we
danced. AH and I pulled Haddy and Fatou to join. It was so, so much
fun!!
After,
we went into our groups. As MR was ill, Maths had to stay at the AMRC
with him, so we were down by one teacher, and had to re-organise the
groups. Ours was the same as last time, bu with AM as well. We went
to Mustafa's house- Mustafa is Morro's nephew!! Was so
weird- we got to the house and Kubara- who does our cooking- was
there! Turns out she's Morro's sister-in-law, though we didn't know.
We breathed a sigh of relief when we saw her, knowing the food would
be good!! Also got to see Musa and Landin (Morro's son and nephew;
both adorable!!).
Evening was
amazing!! The food was delicious, and then we played games and
danced. I acquired a small child, and spent a large part of the
evening with her in my arms. For the first time in my life, I kind of
want a small child. Very weird!!
Walked home, then
to bed.
