The past few days have been amazing! Yesterday, I truly felt like a teacher. On Monday, I attended John Kamua's class. John lives on our compound and he is a history and theory of knowledge teacher at the SOS-HGIC where I teach. He let me attend his class, and then gave me papers to mark! (that's what they call grading) Well, yesterday, my teacher saw me marking, and she asked me if I wanted to mark her student's work! I said yes! I think that because she saw someone else trust me with marking that she trusts me! :) So now I have a bunch of paper's to mark!!! :):):)
After school on Monday, John took Nicole and I to "the office". It is a local place where many business people gather after school. It was fun to just sit and chat and unwind from the crazyness that is school. The students are preparing for exams next week, so the teachers are stressing out about making the exams, and the students are stressing out about taking them.
Last night, we celebrated Barbara. She is leaving us today and many of us are sad. Nicole and I went to a shop after school yesterday and we purchased a cake, Fanta, and a tonic water because that is Barbara's favorite. It was nice to see how happy she was just because of a small gesture. I'll miss Grandma Barb. We also met our new professor last night, Dr. Magarry. He seems really nice so far, so that is good.
Other than that, things are wonderful! I realized that in 23 days, I will be a college graduate, with a teaching certificate on the way, in the Netherlands! I'm so excited for all of these things! It's crazy how much my life has changed in these past few weeks and how much it will change in the weeks to come.
I hope all is going well for all of you and I look forward to your e-mail updates!
God bless and love,
Christina
