Happy Wednesday!!
Today our rotation was education. We started at 8am.
Once again, super tired so here are just some awesome things that happened:
-We had to wear chuddidars with scarfs today. Legit.
-We had one on one time with the kids and there is this little kid named Gopi that once again, stole my heart. We were reading a story and instead of reading he just said all the letters one at a time. Maybe you had to be there but it was so cute. And so funny. And they say like all their English letters with "Ya" in front of it. Like here's how they say the beginning of the ABC's: "Yay, B, C, D, Ye, Yef, G..."
-At playtime we took a ton of pictures. The kids LOVE photos. You think they want to be your friend...but really they just want their picture taken. So we took a lot of awesome jumping pictures.
-Prayer time was kind of a fail today because they girls were so chatty and one of them may or may not have had an accident during it...
Despite being super tired and sore from construction, today was a good day. Maybe this post is super lame and doesn't sound like it but each day is so good. There are definitely so many things that happen every day that are amazing. Sometimes it's physically exhausting but folks, it is worth it.
One thing I've realized is that here in India, things that would've bugged me in the past don't matter anymore. When I go back to America I'm sure I'll revert back to some of my ways but everyone here doesn't care about themselves at all so things that normally matter to us, don't matter anymore. Just small things. And it's a good thing. For example, if I fly lands on my food in American, I throw it away. Here it's like, whatever YOLO. Doesn't matter. We don't care if we look gross. We don't care what people think. We just do what we came here to do an love every minute of it. People's attitudes here are contagious.
Anyway that's all for now. Tomorrow we are going on a field trip with the kids and it's going to be crazy. They haven't been on a field trip since 2009 and we're going to a theme park and the beach. So if I survive tomorrow, I will make sure to blog cause I'm sure we'll have some interesting experiences.
P.S. I now have like 50 mosquito bites. Hello Malaria (just kidding mom, I'm taking my malaria medicine)!
