Life’s Lumps

Ok, so the week has been a wild one at school. I’ve flown off the handle a couple of times, but the students were bad and I had to maintain order in the classroom. They started to revolt like the movie “Mutiny on The Bounty.” Maybe anger isn’t the best option but it’s what comes natural to me. Sometimes I think the work and the world is crushing my soul, destroying emotions and orbs of happiness. Well, back to the drawing board. Gotta teach, gotta see Madagascar to the end.

Shout It from the Roof tops!

Recently, we had a lot of volunteers in Fianarantsoa. Many from my Stage on their way to Climb Peak Boby, the highest accessible mountain in Madagascar. And a bunch of new education volunteers that I had never met, but I had befriended on Facebook. We clicked and had a great time. And I met a special girl. We enjoyed our time together like Bonnie and Clyde. We ended the night on the roof of our hotel looking out on the city lights and feeling wonderful together. And a little whoopie. I think the whole neighborhood heard us “fighting” like alley cats. One the best moments of my life.
