Under the Weather

The first week of school is finished and it was quite the interesting week. Mostly I just observed and helped with crowd control. I have lots of ideas in my head but I think I'll wait and introduce them slowly. The teachers are open to change for the most part (if it doesn't involve too much work) but mostly they just want more teaching supplies (just like every teacher). The worst part of this week was that I got pretty sick on Wednesday night and I still feel quite sick now. I had fever, body ache, nausea the whole bit. I'm not really sure what I have but I sure hope it's nothing serious. Today I just feel really tired and can't stand up for long. I'm sure in a few days I'll be all better.
So on Friday night I went to a women's meeting from the church. It was at my friend Jenny's house and since it went until after dark (my curfew) Jenny offered to let me sleep over. It was great to get together with women who are foreigners. Although I love my Haitians brothers it's just not the same. So we had a small devotional, ate some North American food and had a swim. They are planning on meeting every other week. I will try to go as often as possible but it's difficult because I'm the only one who lives in my neighbourhood, everyone else lives pretty close to eachother. This morning we went shopping at an art shop, they had some pretty cool stuff. Then we went back to Jenny's house for a swim and just vegged. It was really like a mini holiday and I felt like I really needed it. Here house is huge and it honestly feels a bit like a resort.
Tomorrow I'm supposed to go hiking in the mountains but I don't think I'll be up to it so maybe I'll just spend some time at home and take it easy so I'm ready to work hard on Monday.
