I woke up today at 6:45am to mooing cows. They are soo loud. I had a warm shower. I went down for a delicious breakfast of pancakes, cereal, orange juice, and corn flakes. Before we were even down eating the student who is to pick me up arrived. Jeany (pronounced Genie) picked me up with her truck, her little brother Phil was in the back. This girl was in grade 8 but she honestly looked like my age. Well anyways, after a short drive we arrived at Jireh. I began by correcting the work of kids and helping to answer their questions. The principal / teacher who I mainly work for is Miss Tina. Later on recess came. There was 2 games that most of the kids were involved with either ultimate Frisbee or volleyball.
I ended up playing ultimate Frisbee with the kids. But after a little while it got so bad I couldn't play. The one team was made up of mostly older, more athletic girls who would only pass to the other girls like them. It was a brutal one sided game, and it was blazing hot. This week it has been so hot, 40°C almost everyday.
I stayed late today, till about 1:30. But today was only a half day, so school ended at 12. Every Wednesday is a half day. By the end of the day I had cleaned the windows, completely many math word problems, and typed up sentences for Michelle one of the special needs girls in Tina's class. Michelle and her sister were adopted by Miss Tina's aunt. They believe both girls have alcohol fetus syndrome.
I went to Cayo today. It is a resort with 3 different pools and an internet cafe. It is 50 Belize cents for 15 minutes, $1 Belize for 30 minutes, and $1.50 Belize for 60 minutes. We had the best dinner. We went to this restaurant that we went to at the beginning of the trip, I got a cheeseburger with fries and sprite. Yummy. Linds and I want to return to that hotel we went to for a night. It looked so cool. It is only $5 Belize to swim and $100 Belize a night. Later on that night we got ice cream and it was really good.
