Just passed my six month anniversary at site on June 1. Half a year! These days, my village feels like home and the U.S. feels very distant. It's going to be strange returning to the U.S. 1.5 years from now.
Six months also means the end of my first term teaching; vacation began Friday. Or perhaps I should say 'vacation', as the Form 2 and Form 4 students return Monday, and study through all of break (they have national exams coming up). I plan to travel for part of break, but will be teaching my Form 2 students chemistry on the days that I'm around.
