Day 44
Zach and I made some big moves today. I bought a TV in town, and a DSTV. DSTV is basically the cable provider here so I could watch some TV. It’s a good form of entertainment, but the one thing that was a little disappointing, was ESPN! ESPN was the one channel I was looking forward to, and their programming is different than US =( I turned on the TV, and was watching Wednesday Night Baseball… on Thursday night! It was great watching the game, but their ESPN has stuff like, X Games Classics, Formula One Racing, Cricket (which is amazing), and the two programs that I can look forward to, Sportscenter, and Baseball Tonight, which are on at good times. I just have to check if they are up to date. If those programs are a day behind I might end up canceling my DSTV, and have wasted some money, or keep it for the other channels that I have. I’ll give it a month and see. Luckily, I can always sell of the DSTV and the TV.
Other than that, I have been practicing a lot of piano! I still keep up with cello, and I am in the process of learning the first Bach Invention.
Dinner was one of the best dinners Zach and I have had in Kenya. He made chapati and I cooked some ground beef, with cilantro, onions, and a bunch of other spices.
HEAVENLY.
We made mini burritos and enjoyed every bit of it.
All in all today was a great day, I just hope the ESPN thing works out for me!
One thing I wanted to talk about was my general rapport with the students. I think it’s so great how much I get to see the students and interact with them. It’s such a huge change from seeing my students once a week, to now everyday. It’s fun to talk to them, tell them differences between when I went to high school and their school, and things of that nature. Also playing soccer with them is a blast, I wish I had time to help them practice, or even coach them, but my schedule doesn’t really allow for that.
