Monday-Tuesday

Well, no patients until we had gone home for lunch. Amanuel had forgotten his key at home, so had had borrowed Cameron’s, and forgotten to give it back, so since Cameron (for some reason) had locked his room today, so he could not get back in. And THEN there were patients at the clinic who needed medication, so we had to wait for Tariku (Amanuel’s nephew/errand boy), to bring back the key. I had a fun time trying to get the keyboard out of Dr. Gemechu’s apartment, because Sigue was gone and Girma could not find his key. He eventually did, though. We had no water all day boo. At least there is water in the garden. Anyway, Cameron was still not back when I went to class, but I figured he would come soon. Oh class. Oh class. AHHHHH! So, I love Mondays because I love 2A, BUT the 2B teacher tried to explain to me something about how I could not have 2A :-/. So I ended up getting half of 2A and half of 2B (the smart halves). Turns out (I spoke with Kinfe afterward), that there was going to be tutoring Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for the kids who had bad first-semester test scores. So on Mondays I can have the smart halves, and on Tuesdays, I can have 2B? Anyway, so there I was, in the class where half of the kids are on slide 28 and the other half on slide 3! I could either start from where 2B was, and have the 2A kids be super bored, or I could start from where 2A was, and have the 2B kids TOTALLY confused, or I could so something different. I had no idea as to what that “different” thing should be, but in the process of reading with Mek’des, Dureti, Hermela, and Meskeram, I had made a list of words they had trouble pronouncing. I did not have the list with me, but I thank God that He gave me that idea weeks ago so I could use it this week! I think they enjoyed it, and it bought me a week to grasp my bearings and figure out what the heck I should do. Now I have to figure out what should happen. Should I have the less smart kids only on Tuesdays? But that means they have extra class every day after school except Thursdays, and I know a lot of them walk very far and still have work to do when they get home. I am going to go discuss this with Kinfe today after lunch.
Oh, today is Tuesday, and the most exciting thing is that I finished consumable inventory and will “train” Hulu and Adunaye on how to do it when they get back from going somewhere. Hulu’s daughter is here today too.
