I'm here -- again!

Hello again!

I'm currently in a city called Morogoro visiting my friend Mario. He is studying at a university here, so unfortunately he won't be in Magulilwa anymore. Emily and I will leave for Iringa tomorrow probably, but it's TZ, so making too many plans is just silly.

Morogoro is quite hot and humid, but not as bad as Dar. The mosquitoes seem to like Emily and I better than the Tanzanians for some reason... annoying. But apparently they won't be nearly as bad in Magulilwa. Being here has been great, but I'm looking forward to having my own space and not being sweaty all the time. It's like Minnesota in July right now, with no air conditioning. Except in this lovely internet cafe :)

Emily and I are pretty much ready to get back to Magulilwa, even though unforetold challenges will undoubtedly be waiting. As of Friday, there were 12 form I students and 25 form IIs. So we felt justified in being late, as school technically started last Monday. Hehe. But the whole environment will be different, as it's the rainy season now. Apparently everything is going to be green and muddy. It will definitely be interesting.

We will be two of six teachers that we know of right now, unless the school has been more aggressive in hiring new people than I'm expecting. And the headmaster got fired, so pretty much everything is going to be up in the air. What an adventure, right?? Haha. I would not be handling it like this had I not had a nice long break at home, but Emily and I both feel refreshed enough to handle it right now at least. Anyway, I think that's enough for now. Hope you're still enjoying the snow!
