A Normal Day

So, my mother requested something that showed my everyday life. Luckily Michelle, one of the other interns, took a video of me teaching a first grade class. They are super cute. This is pretty typical, barring unforeseen mishaps. For example: collage materials + fan + first graders = chaos. So two days a week I teach at the campus in Varanasi, video above, and two days a week I am at the village campus. It is very beautiful there, but eight or nine hours without filtered water or electricity is really tough. The kids are very eager to learn, at least early in the day and when it is not a hundred degrees, so sometimes. Other daily struggles involve the untrained dogs that people always let into the guest house. I ran into a small unidentified dead animal that they killed and dragged into the school on the way back home today, and then about five minutes later had the pleasure of kicking the same dog out of our common area where he was rolling around on the mattress we sit on. Sanitary. Anyhow, mostly things are great but I really hate the dogs. Haha. Anyhow. After being sick all last week and going to Lucknow, I am really exhausted, so I am going to bed.

Love,
