Plans....whats that?

well i know everyone back home is wondering what happened to the monkey. we found him a home. one of the members from the ERC took him so hopefully that means i will get to see him again. and i did a little research, i can't bring that one back to the states but if you would like to purchase me one, they are only $2,500-$5,000. so plz if the father lays it upon your heart to buy me monkey feel free to do so.

today we went to the school that one of the m's son goes to. the lady that runs the school got like a million books and wants to set up a library. but she has been too busy with other stuff to get started on it so denae, lauren, and i went to help her. basically all she wanted us to do today was put them in categories. some of the books can be checked out and others are for the library only. then there is a wide variety of books so we put them in a category according to the type of book it was, for instance, science, math, story books, etc. well about and hour and half into the work i started feeling bad. then i got sick and had to come home. but for the most part i am better now.

so in my last post i mentioned that our 15 students were supposed to come over and watch a movie. well this is ethiopia and nothing happens as planned. about 9 that morning we got a call saying that we needed to come to the school that day because the donors were having meetings with the girls and they wanted to meet us. well when we arrived at 2, which is when class starts, the donors were not there so we started class. after 15 mins into class they got there and the girls had to leave to go have a meeting with them that we were not invited to. but the donors wanted to meet us so we had to hang around until the meeting was over. after the meeting and we met the donors we got to finish class with the girls. we have planned the movie day for next Thursday so hopefully it will happen this week. the next two days are kind of resting days so just be in pr that father re energizes us for the coming week.

Top 10 things I love about this place:

1. My friend bought a monkey of the street for $10 USD
2. Plans do not exist here
3. It is normal to go to a pizza restaurant and they will not have any pizza
4. It rains everyday
5. If you order a hamburger, its basically some meatloaf stuff on bread
6. They have a Kaldis, which is the Ethiopian version of Starbucks
7. Some people try to rip us off because we are white
8. A guy on the mini bus thought Lauren didn't speak english
9. Just about every time we get on a mini bus we are in the very back corner, we think its because we're white
10. You have to climb 6 flights of stairs to get to our apartment, but the sign def. says 4th level. yeah im not sure how that works out.

E and M from our ERC class
