On Tuesday, Lauren and I went to South City Mall and went shopping. I got two shirts and a churidar. They were 60% and 40% off. It was sweet...
On Wednesday, school was fine. I played cabardee with the kids in the afternoon, which was fun. Its a game similar to tag which is really popular in Bengal. In the evening, the other volunteers and I went salwar shopping with Bobby. I bought two kits, which I'll take to the tailor tomorrow. I'm trying to wear Indian clothes as much as possible.
Today school was fine. The advanced kids finished up correcting their packets that I'd left them when I was in Thailand. They'll have a test tomorrow. I was stalling with the intermediate kids. I had wanted to start a new unit, but when I went to make xeroxes last night, the power went out. So we converted improper fractions to mixed numbers. We played cabardee again this afternoon. Its getting hot here. Manisha and Prativa came over for computer class. We were gonna finish watching the Wizard of Oz, but the power was out, so we kinda just sat around. There wasn't really enough light to read, and none of us felt like doing that anyway, haha.
I'm making quite a bit of progress on my Bengali, which is exciting. I'm finally able to conjugate verbs. I can follow alot of what people are saying.
Sorry this was a scattered, low-interest post.
