A quick rambling update!
So I am back from Cape Town, it was a short and sweet trip. Sejake and I ate some really yummy food and got to see some of his great friends! The GRE went okay, why I am I so bad at this type of test?
So now my counterpart and I are in full swing working with NGOC to organize the princess of Lesotho’s birthday party this weekend. It’s going to be held at my main ECCD centre Mantloaneng ECCD. 400 kids from all over Lesotho, 3 jumping castles, it is going to be a very fun, but tiring day! I spent yesterday going around with NGOC to buy some supplies and then today will be spent decorating and preparing for tomorrow’s event. I have not met the princess, so I’m kind of excited about meeting the 8 year old royalty and her 3 year old brother, who will be the future King.
And then on Sunday, Sejake and I are going to his friend’s wedding in Morija. I’m looking forward to it. Every wedding I have been to here has been quite different from the other. Basotho really like to go all out for parties, so I’m sure it will be quite nice, probably nicer than any wedding I could ever afford:)
I’m also currently having trouble with a wisdom tooth. I talked to the PCMO yesterday and we agreed that if it is not better by Monday, I will call and request a dental appointment. I’m too busy today anyway to go to the dentist! I hope it magically gets better on it’s own, but we will see. None of my wisdom teeth have come in and I was told they never would, but oh I think this one is wanting to!
What else? What else? Oh I think I have decided to finish Peace Corps. Tentatively at the moment my Close of Service (COS) date is December 9th. I was really considering extending, but I haven’t been able to find a new site and job yet and time’s a wasting. I really feel like I am going to finish on a really high note and am really looking forward to seeing my family and friends back in IL!
