Han: How are we doing? Luke: Same as always. Han: That bad huh?

Quem não tem cão, caça com gato.

I came across this studying Portuguese earlier today. It's a cool phrase. Translation, who doesn't have a dog, hunts with a cat. Significance, make do with what you have.

School is coming to a close and as usual things are getting a bit crazy. We have had a lot of holidays lately and a couple in the middle of the week. So students have not been coming to school. Teaching and school feels like a joke right now. Luckily the year is almost done and then i get a break to wonder around Mozambique and rejuvenate my motivation. Already time to start thinking about what is next in life. Crazy! How time goes by.

Four of the volunteers, Jenna Scooter Anna and Joe, ran a marathon last weekend. I went to support and hang out. It was awesome! They ran the whole thing and it was really motivating. Ali and i rode bikes with them the whole time. We carried the water food and tried to keep them motivated. I might do it next year. That afternoon all of us and a bunch of the other volunteers went to eat at this restaurant by the bridge in Guija. The next day i went to the beach in Bilene with Mark, Peggy, kaitlin, and Ali. It was such a beautiful day and perfect weekend.

Forrest and i have been jammin and wrote our first song last week. Unfortunately not much else going on. Yesterday i watched our soccer team play another school from this roof top of an old Portuguse building. The rat died up in the ceiling of my room, after all the time i let him crash here that's how i was repaid. Ants moved in. We might get electric installed in our house soon. I hurt my foot running but have been cross training and lifting everyday. Then just reading and living the simple life. I'm excited to go surfing first chance i get! Any questions about life here?

Peace love and do good things! JIMMY
