What I miss the most....

This was written last week, so it's a little late.

What I miss the most…(of course, aside from all my family and friends!!!)

I’m sad to say, for all of you who know that I try and not be too attached to electronic thing…it’s just that…electricity and everything that comes with it. Yes, we have electricity, but in all my classes so far this week the electricity has been cut. It doesn’t run very well, anytime there is a storm that hits—blackout—even if it’s just rain for a few minutes. Although I have to admit, when it rains here it really rains!!! It’s like a Monsoon hits and no one goes out in the open. And the storms, oh the storms!!! I have woken up numerous times in the middle of the night thinking the world was ending. I’m not frightened easily, but here you always hear the crack of the lightning like its right about you and it’s the loudest thunder I’ve ever heard.

Ok, so as for our electric situation here—luckily we have a back-up generator that can be switched on if the class is just beginning or if we know ahead of time. But that means that I’m growing habituated to working in the dark because the wont use it until its absolutely necessary. And if it’s towards the end of class then the students just end up leaving—while I’m there shouting on the top of my lungs the homework they have to do for next class. J
