A Slightly Better Than Typical Saturday

Yesterday was Saturday, and I washed some socks and underwear. I often get students to wash most of my other clothing. I rock climbed, though some little kids hassled me, wanting to talk the whole time.

I practiced a lot of Sesotho with students and people in the village- I learned how to call someone selfish (U ipona ka bo uena feela), how to say I'm not sleepy (Ha kea tsoaroa ke boroko), how to ask people where they met each other (U n'u teana le eena kae?), the word for songs the boys sing after circumcision (mangai).

I swept out my outhouse. I transplanted a spinach plant and a cilantro plant that I had been growing in my house. I wrote about a trip to the capital I took my students on. I bought bread, clothing detergent and bananas at the shop. I watched my students practice running races for the big match in the capital next Tuesday.

I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich under my peach tree for lunch and had papa, moroho, carrots and eggs for dinner.
