For half of the day we studied Setswana and practiced for our exam which will be on Saturday. It was nice to get a feel for how other teachers conduct the interview and the possible questions they may ask us. As helpful as the session was, one can only study for so long. After four hours of studying I was brain dead and ready for lunch.
After lunch we had a session on sexual assault awareness before healthy outlets for the rest of the day. The sexual assault awareness session was the only structured, business session of the day, so I think we got off easy.
For healthy outlets I went for a two mile run followed by an abs and arm workout. I probably should have started working out sooner because the lack of fitness was sure getting to me. By the time I made it eight laps around the track I was ready for a pint of Ben and Jerry’s and a Netflix marathon. The joys of working out and the ability to eat whatever you want afterwards. The run wasn’t hard necessarily, I’ve just lost my routine which will be difficult to get back. I always feel much better the days following a good workout, so it will be essential to my wellbeing to continue and sustain a workout schedule.
Washing clothes by hand should be an Olympic sport. No one was home when I returned, so I decided to wash my underwear. Nine paris of underwear took me well over a half hour, I could only imagine how long one pair of jeans will take me. I haven’t washed any clothes since leaving Vermont, and as of today that is officially four weeks. Oh how the time flies. Needless to say, I smell really bad. I’ve re-worn everything in my closet more than three times, and there isn’t much in there to begin with. My host family said they would teach me to wash the last two weekends, but other things came up and life got busy. I couldn’t go another day without underwear, but I guess I can wait a few more days for the rest of my clothes since I already smell.
