Burnt and Brodies

This is the night of my eighth day and it's going really good. I am listening to my Rebecca St. James cd that I got from fusion. I'm quite tired. It is only 10:30 here (but i am still going to roll over and sleep very soon). I just wanna wish ev and care a happy 18^th birthday party, sucks that I can't be there, but I know it will still be awesome. A kind of stinky thing is that my roomies Laura and Rachel are gonna be moving down the hall, which doesn't seem like a big deal, but we have gotten really close, so it stinks. I am going to have Aislin and Meghan as my roommates. I am loving my placement, I really do believe this is the best placement. The children are awesome. I love it there. I am tired after each day, and yet I am really happy once I leave. The day begins at 10am to 6pm. I babysit the little ones who are too young to go to school in the morning. Ben and I generally take them to the park. Once 12 o'clock comes around we take them home to eat a meal of beans, rice, and meat (sometimes coleslaw too). After that we put them in bed for a nap and Ben and I get to take an hour break. We take a walk to Brodey's (a store) and we buy some kind of icecream. We kept on buying ideals (freezies) until Mr. K told us today that we are not to be eating them cause they're dirty. We ate one everyday this week except for today (thursday) and we have not been sick yet. Anyways, after that we walk from Brodey's to the school to pick up the younger kids who go to school and get out early (this is at 2:30). Then we walk home. If the children have homework we help them do that and we play with the kids till the older start coming home at 3ish. Out of the 4 times we have been there, twice I have helped with the cooking of dinner. Tuesday Ben and I made tortillas and today I made Fried Jacks. They are a dough that you deep fry in a pan which comes out like that of a pretzal (not the shape, but the type of bread). They are really yummy and Ben/I thought of the idea to put sugar on them. SO GOOD! Once 6 o'clock comes around we go home and relax till dinner, and bed time. Well I am quite tired now, and I believe this is a pretty good update. I miss you all, but not enough to come home.. haha. Looking forward to the coming back day, but also looking forward to all that we are doing here. I am going to the keys (islands) on saturday, and on sunday we are going to the blue hole (maybe). Twill be fun. Peace, Hans
