School was kind of empty, but pretty good this week. Half of the intermediate group is working on adding fractions with uncommon denominators, and the other half has moved on to multiplying fractions. The advanced group went over problems involving negative numbers, but by Friday I was spinning my wheels. I have completed the syllabus for the advanced group. Next week, S and K and I will make a new one. I want to do simple algebra with them. I love algebra, I'm excited.
Sealdah was empty as usual on Friday. We roamed around to give out food. Today was really busy. We had to buy extra food to feed everyone. I played with a bunch of kids for an extra long time today. It was nice, they loved it. One girl has always had a puppy with her for the past month or two, but today we got there and the puppy was dead on the sidewalk. The girl didn't seem too upset. I guess that's a good thing, but it shows how adjusted she is to a hard life. Shit happens and she knows it.
There will be no Sealdah tomorrow because Jen, a new volunteer, has an appendicitis and is having surgery tomorrow morning. We're all going to the hospital to be with her.
