I was going to blog last night but then I forgot and went out to play pool instead. I don't mean to neglect you, I apologise. Nothing groundbreaking happened yesterday so you didn't miss much. I leisurely got up, ate breakfast and went into town. I'm slowly getting into Crime and Punishment but it is tough. On many an occasion I've got to the end of a page and realised I had been thinking about the politest way to say 'I don't want see another grain of rice as long as I live' to my host family, and I've had to re-read the page. I planned the lesson and then returned home for lunch.
The lesson in the afternoon went well again. I've realised recently that while they are able to write english to a fairly high standard, their pronunciation leaves a lot to be desired. Therefore I am going to make them speak as much as possible and hopefully we will be able to get somewhere. I'm being filmed today during my lesson so I am slightly panicking about what to teach them. I might bribe them all to behave and act like they understand to make me look better. Is that morally wrong? I will let you all know how it goes in the next post.
Last night I went to the bar with a couple of the new volunteers to play some pool. I mentioned in a blog post earlier on in the week that I was trying to go the week without spending any money and I have succeeded, you will all be ecstatic to know. So I can now spend money again without feeling guilty which is a lovely feeling.
As I said, nothing groundbreaking to report and therefore, that is all I have for you today. Do not fear though as there will be much more to report after my trip to Santa Cruz. I won't be taking my computer with me and so there won't be another blog post until monday. Until next time.
