week 1

this first week flew by, just as i suspected it would. mel and i did our "induction" (basically in introductory sort of interview) and have gotten more settled into our roles here at lily. i am back at the school with grade 2-- love them. i am shocked at how many of the children remember me from last year. smart little kidlets.

mel has been working in the clinic doing clinic-y sorts of things.  

mel has been a bit under the weather the past few days but seems to have rebounded nicely and even crawled out of bed today ;)

we spent an evening in Durban last week and i was shocked by how american it felt. i never spent any time in durban last year, as i did not have transportation. i LOVE having access to a car and the ability to navigate. not much else to report ;) will try to be better about posting-- somehow i have less down time this year and will be putting in long hours in order to gain internship credit through Mason for my time here.  even so, i have slept more in the past week then i slept all of last semester combined!
