Hey all, I have had the wonderful opportunity to get to town again and I felt like I should write a bit about whats going on... Well last week I took my Oral and Written language test and they went well... I scored average on my written and intermediate low on my oral (we need to score intermediate high) to swear in. But Hamna shida (no worries), I am busting out my pseudo Kiswahili every day to beef it up a bit! Last week, I was observed teaching and the guy said I did great, and that he thinks I will make a great teacher!! I was so excited, because my students are actually understanding my super slow "special" mix of kiswahili and english. All of the secondary schools are taught in english and I have the pleasure of teaching the kids that just came from primary school (which is taught in kiswahili)... so its exciting that they are actually grasping the information... granted its units but still.... haha. Life has been pretty good, just chit chatting with the fam and making embarassing mistakes with my pronounciation.... I cant barely pronounce english words let alone kiswahili words that are 30 letters long with 4 consanants next to each other... The other day I tried to tell my momma that I wanted a certain type of drink, but I ended up saying that I wanted vigina....haha!!! She looked at me all crazy and busted out laughing, fell out of her chair and proceeded to roll around on the floor.... After 15 mins she said that I need to pronounce my y's.... so yeah... This is tit!

P.S thanks cammie for reminding me more about american food... what i would give for some chicken and broccoli alfredo..... or actually anything that is not ughali, rice, potatoes and fish.... As I will say again... the food is suspect! haha

Oh the pic is from our trip to Mkume... peep the "daladala" on the gansta lean... we def. rode there with no brakes (no, seriously) for 3 hours( with 29 ppl on a 19 passenger bus).... I guess this is Peace Corps... What doesnt kill you makes you stronger...or so I've heard!
