There's a Snake in my Boots...
heeeeelllllllllooooooo internet,
i haven't exactly been a diligent blogger. i'd like to say, that will change....but probably not. i apologize blogger fans.
Life here is the same as it usually is. get up, walk to school, teach and hope these learners understand at least half of the words leaving my mouth, come home, run, watch a cheesie soap with the roomies, sleep and repeat. yet, i'm still finding something if not entirely interesting, at least amusing everyday. being able to amuse yourself with the simple stuff....big asset in peace corps. often times, it is the run that saves the day. little kids join along for a bit. they laugh and last about 200m, but is a refreshing 200m. amazing that having happy people around for a few minutes will do to the mood.
last week on my run, i saw this baby goat (called a kid, i think). baby goats are so cute. loud, but cute. he was so lost and scared. crying for his mom, running around in this little circle. kind sad, but quite touching. i had to stop. mom was no where i could see, so i said an "awwww" and continued. i'm pretty sure that adorable baby goat is no more. i saw a dog stalking just around the bend. that might make me kind of cold hearted, seeing a helpless animal and running along, even after i saw that dog....but such is life here. animals get eaten. even the cute ones. sorry baby goat. i'm a bitch.
ending on something positive....i'm starting this "club". i'll give more details when i know for certain that it will materialize in all its glory. but, basically, i'm trying to encourage/build self-esteem/maybe impart some great abby-wisdom. there's more to it, details to follow. but, basically, kids (especially OVCs...the members of my little army, i mean club) are beaten in every possible way here. i figured i could do something about it, so i'm going to try. see, i'm not a complete bitch.
i hope all's well in your corner of the world. :)
