Hi everyone..Thought I'd change my acitvity to shopping today, since I always put volunteering..and I was in town today breifly hehe..anyway, thanks so much for all your comments..it's so encouragaing..it's lovely to hear from you all. Today I was with Standard 5 and it was slightly trying as it's been a pretty long time since I did any Maths, especially the kind you do in Junior School without a calculator!..I had to go back and correct a couple of mistakes of my own while I was meant to be helping other people..maybe it's slightly worrying I found this whole experience slightly challenging, but I'm sure I'll improve as I jog my memory with a bit of force! When I get my timetable next week I should be helping with Pre-school kids as well, which is so exciting cos they are adorable! Well..that was interesting..we just had a power cut so I lost most of what this journal entry actually said..at least I got this first half back! It also only affected certain computers..I was one of the lucky ones! Carrying on..I'm getting much more used to Indian life now..feel much more able to just go into town without feeling too threathened, although sometimes the culture is a bit challenging cos people in the shops are very keen to help, the streets are very busy and beggars can sometimes grab you..my response to all this is usually emotional, but generally I am coping ok. Some of the Indian mannerisms I have already picked up, like wobbling your head from side to side for 'okay' and the gereral calmness of the people. Although I'm really enjoying it here, it sometimes feels quite tiring. Yesterday I slept from 8.30 till 7 which is quite unusual for me and I'm looking forward to my day off which I'll spend with the other I.G's. It looks like I may actually be shadowing a lot of Owen's lessons..hehe, hopefully he won't mind although I'm told he'll try to embarass me! I hope you are all well and know how fondly I think of you. This goes out to anyone from family, church, work and college..you are all very much missed! Lots of love from Sammy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
