10/25….I’m ok really
10/25-10:31pm Uganda time
Everyone keeps on asking me if I’m ok….even Tiffany. I don’t want them to think I’m anti-social or something. I’m just waiting for my luggage to get here. I’m really not trying to be anti-social. It’s just hard to do what you need to do with nothing. But I guess its good that I have my computer. I’m just worrying about completing my assignments for class –I have a midterm that is due next week and I don’t have all of my books because they are in my luggage.
I didn’t get to go out and about today. I finally met the students there were about 30 boys and girls from 13-18 years old. Today the young girls worked on Vocabulary. We had the boys join that wrote letters to Pen Pals in Saint Ages high school in Los Angeles. One young boy who was bout 7 years old also decided to write a note to a pen pal in L.A.
I introduced my self to the group of girls. They were extremely interested in the dance class I would be teaching. They love dancing…I am a little worried about teaching dance. Although I have a number of years of experience I always doubt my ability in dance. I don’t know why I just do ….but I am not going to worry about it.
I was hoping to go out and take some pictures but that didn’t happen. I did show one of the boys Richard who is 18 and his classmate Brian some of my pictures of my family and friends they wanted to see how my mother and father looked. When I was talking to them about what I came to teach they were excited about Journalism. I didn’t bring a lot of my newspapers and the ones that I did were in my luggage. I gave Richard a copy of one of my newspaper he is going to read it and bring it back to me tomorrow.
