Model School

So model school started this week, and so far I have only had to teach for 30 minutes, but next week that is going to change to me teaching an hour each day. So far I have given a lesson on stems and trunks of trees/plants. It is pretty exciting. On monday I will be giving my hour lecture on the parts of a flower. Model school is making me feel a lot more confident in my teaching/French speaking abilities, but I still have a long way to go.

Speaking of French speaking, I passed my second language test! Everyone passes them, so that is not really the exciting part, the exciting part is that I am no longer a novice low, you can now refer to me as Caleb the Intermediate Low. The class that I am in right now has six people in it and already in the first week I feel like I have increased my vocabulary a lot.

Other than that my life this week has been really quite boring. The cat at my host familys house had two kittens, which kind of freaked me out because the momma cat is the scroniest kitten looking cat I have ever seen. My mom told me to put up a wish list of stuff that I would like people to send me if they felt so inclined, but I dont really have a list. However, if anyone does feel the need to send some tasty treats, an interesting book, or anything you can imagine poor bored Caleb would enjoy in the hot desolate place that is Africa I wont send it back.
