I believe we increased the percentage of Norwegian population at the Moot considerably those days I'll celebrate tomorrow.

Is this a private party, or may we all join in?
Congrats on surviving your first year!

Congratulations, Varna!

Getting to my placement was a bit crazy. Our matatu (mini-bus type thing) kept overheating, so we had to stop by the side of the road several times. Then it started raining. Really heavily - and we slipped off the road and into the muddy ditch at the side. So we had to try to get passing cars to stop and help us. It was about an hour later that we managed to push it back onto the road. We were *very* late! But it was quite an experience, all the same! Everyone's really nice over here, and my host family are brilliant. Oh, and Maasai tea is in fact even better than English tea. I'm happy.

That sounds wonderful! And quite the experience. Makes you appreciate good cars and roads.
Does your host family speak English somewhat, or is it working with your hands and feet?

The party is happily over. No bad incidents, no damages to items and most importantly, no corpses. Except that I propably look like a corpse, but that's nothing new.
Yay! I found Nightwish's old cd:s in a store (12,90 €/cd), bought two, and today I'll be buying two more! ( Which results in my wallet being empty ) Well. How iz everyone? O.o

Weeeell... I'm recovering from last week But doing pretty good actually. I'm working some ideas out I had for teaching. The last week of my internship I have to teach a whole week and full-time too, so I was thinking of doing a theme week and do all sorts of classes revolving around that theme: foreign languages, exercising games, math, art, geography.
I think they will make some lovely things. I just have to make sure everyone can participate even at their different levels. At the moment I am doubting between dividing the class in groups according to their ability and giving each level a different assignment or mixing the levels and making it into a group exercise so they all have to help eachother. Sorry, I'm rambling again. Anyways, I need to get to the library and hand in my books or pay a fine.

And you're right, most people speak incredibly good English. Which is good for me, because my knowledge of Swahili is pretty limited so far, and my host family have Kimaasai as a first language, and that seems *very* irregular and difficult to learn. I'm trying though! Also - Nightwish rock.

Apparently I've been here for 7 years.
Ugg, I'm getting sick again *pours a cup of Early grey* Other than that things are ok. It snowed and rained for the past three days I love it.

It rained here all day. I think my calla lily drowned, but we'll have to wait and see.

My sympathies. I really hope it didn't. I think my cilantro froze. The one thing I don't like about the snow at this time of year is it makes it really hard when to know when to plant stuff.
