Last week my club made a rule that anyone who is late has to
pay 25 CFA, and if you are absent you have to pay 50 CFA. So today there were 5
or 6 kids who were late and as each one entered the class the first words they
heard were, “En retard!!! 25!”. The first time the treasurer said it I started
laughing… mistake – she gave me a very serious stare and said, “that’s the
rule. when someone is late they pay.”

Cyber classes are going really well!! We are teaching
internet and typing lessons – we have maybe 10 students. Soon we are going to
start a class just for teachers.

Went up the mountain with Mama today to prepare a house for
a funeral in March. It takes about an hour and a half to make it up the
mountain to this house and you have to take all these little skinny windy paths
to get there. By the time we made it, I was pretty tired. Mama got to work
cooking and building a house and I sat on a bench haha
So this was a Wednesday and I have club on Wednesdays, so I
had to leave early in order to make it back in time. During my time on the
bench I was planning how this would go. I would have to leave 2 hours before
club starts in order to make it in time. That would mean 1:00 and Mama
definitely wouldn’t be ready to go back by then… that would mean going back by
myself, which is exacty what happened. Haha I WISH you guys could have seen me
coming down the mountain, you would have laughed so hard!! I was slipping
through yam fields, jumping off rocks, grabbing reeds of grass… I completely
gave up on the idea of finding any path and just went straight down. By the
time I made it back to the house my hands were bleeding and I was covered in
burs and grass. But I made it to club on time, so I’m gonna mark that up as a
success.
