Late(ish) May back in Twenty-Ten... This week has felt like a month. But great it has been.
It started out with a mysterious virus I must have picked up on the weekend. I was out of commission from Saturday until Monday night. Of course I HAD to be back for school on Tuesday...there is no way I could deny my students the joy of celebrating my birthday with me. And we had a blast. David delivered flowers, a pink cake, and plenty of paper plates and forks to go around so all 15 sugar-loving fifth graders could dig in. It was definitely their highlight of the day! Mine was soon to come.
Dinner was delicious. And hilarious, actually...picture this: an Indian restaurant in the middle of Kigali with Rwandese waiters in Indian costumes. They danced and sang around our table while banging homemade instruments and drums. I danced alongside them. It made my night.
The rest of the week has been filled with various other activities: studying and discussing 1 John 2-3 with a ladies Bible study group; engaging in a lively discussion with my fifth graders on the topic of Satan ("Does God love Satan?" "Why and how did Satan first sin?" "Will Satan ever die?"); and the never-ending stream of grading assignments and preparing lessons.
My brain feels ready to explode. Boy, am I ready for Friday.
