Mouse ears in Windhoek

The prince just dropped out of the play. Why? you may ask. Well, I'll tell you. It is because he can't find the proper shoes to be a prince, so he has decided to just not do it. This is a common theme in Namibia. As the play approaches, I'm getting very nervous for my learners. We have about 2 wks before "opening night" if you will. This very well could be a disaster, but I'm also thinking that in the end, everyone will pull through. My main problems are lack of funding, and kids taking five hour naps in the afternoon. Really. I'll be like, "practice at 3," but all the kids will sleep, and I'll have to send someone to wake them up, and then they roll up all sleepy-like. But overall, things are going well. I just bought seven pairs of mouse ears in Windhoek which is pretty exciting in itself.

Today is my year anniversary of arriving in Namibia. A whole freaking year. It's a weird thought to think you've been away for so long. It doesn't feel that long. It scares me sometimes, because at this point, I'm comfortable. I have friends, I have a life, I have a routine. And I will continue to have this for another year, only to be ripped outta that routine after another year. Dit es snax. (that's weird)

Nothing much has been going on. I teach, I do my clubs, I watch tv on dvd and pretend for like, 22 minutes of a Scrubs episode that I'm in America mayhaps, and then back to Namib.

I hope I'm a good teacher. I think I'm ok. Lately I feel lazy seeing as there are only two weeks of actual teaching left and then exams. And then America.

America for about 3 wks. I don't understand.

I'll be in Lexington, and I'm also going to head down to Bowling Green and mayhaps Nashville if you are in any of these places. Or, if you'd like to meet up, just email me.

I'm doing well right now, but I need a break. I need you all, and grass, the cold, and coffee.
Happy Halloween.

Getting ready to hike down to Keetmans for a big Halloween party! Dressing up as the American recession. Costume involves starbucks apron and zombie make-up.

My friend Brooke walking through the Luderitz township with two small boys that held our hands the whole time. It was really fun. We kinda had a little kid following after a while. :)
