Laugh it up, fuzzball

Im in Chokwe, downloading stuff and looking up things for my students to practice reading with. I went to Guija yesterday and stayed the night there. One of my close friend's boyfriend is visiting from the US. So I went to hang out with them, they cooked dinner and we just chilled. Today I help them with some gardening and got some nasty blisters now.

It is winter here and finally starting to get cold at night. I wore my sweatshirt last night for the first time this year. I have been battling boredom a lot lately. I watched every episode of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia in the last couple weeks. Those guys are such scumbags but they make me laugh. But now I think I back on track. Im motivated to try some new things teaching. Im also downloading some music stuff and a chess program.

My Portuguese is improving. I have been studying and started tutoring with my Director most days once again. He also gave me a ride to town yesterday and that was awesome. Then we had lunch n Chokwe and he took some groceries back to Mabalane for me.

I have been playing basketball most days and there are some weights at this one guys house in the village. Maybe I wrote about it already but it is really cool to be able to lift weights a couple times a week. They are old train parts but i can get good workouts with them. Actually i have a few pictures I will add to facebook. Nothing too exciting. I have a rat that is visiting me every night, so i am going to try to get a cat. Plus the girls here have cats and I kind of like cats now.

Ok my friends computer is almost dead. Maybe I'll try to add a comment from my phone. Peace and Love
