I really haven't done much today, but I enjoyed being lazy. The heat really takes it out of ya, I find I have way less energy here than at home. Anyway, I slept in pretty late today, then I got up and did some chore-type things like laundry and boiling the milk so we can drink it. Jen, Trina and I just kinda sat around and chilled until it was time for school. Jen did a general knowledge lesson on the lungs, though I really don't know how much of it the kids actually comprehended. The craft we did was "wiggly worms". Its basically folded paper that the kids colored and then tied to a string so they could pull it around. They were pretty cute. Tomorrow morning I'll get up and go to Sealdah, and we'll have school in the afternoon.
Let me clarify something I wrote yesterday: I talked about a fifteen year old girl who told me she had an eight year old baby. I did not believe this. I was telling the story to give an example of the language barrier. She didn't have her kid with her, so I have no idea how old it actually is...

Big plans for tonight! I'm going to the stationary store (think general store) to buy jam and juice, and then I'll have dinner and watch a DVD with Trina and Jen!!! Haha. I actually am looking forward to the movie though.
