Hey everyone~
Ok, so I was supposed to be sending out pics but it doesn't seem to be working. Oh well, I will try again monday. I should start off with saying that i am currently in Maputo-relaxing. I came to get away and I am having some medical things checked out while I am here. Just some stomach issues probably related to worms or something. We'll find out soon. Anyway life has been pretty good. We've had a few problems in our house, but what is to be expected when you put two american women under the same roof. We deal with our differences and that seems to be that. What's new: I built a chicken coop for two chickens that I bought. I bought them to eat and then decided to keep them. I built the coop and they sleep there at night and in the morning they go pecking around for food. I give them rice when I remember but there is plenty garbage for the to eat. I am not sure if we are waiting for eggs to eat or for babies. I guess when we get eggs we will decide. So one night I decided that since the cat is always chasing the chickens out of our yard I would put the cat in the coop. Well that wasn't a good idea. The chicken came out first and the cat next. I wasn't sure who was more terrified. Then Pooh -the cat decided to chase the chicken out of the yard. Needless to say he didn't come back that night. But the following night they were both sleeping together again and I was happy to know that my chickens came back. So school is going along. I do like teaching though I will not do that when I get back to the states....I think I will take the GRE maybe look into getting a job with an NGO and who knows. I am still very confused. I can't say I have done much thinking but then I have. My spare time is filled by sleep and Gameboy. Anyhow I will write more Monday. I have my cell phone on until Tuesday. So feel free to call me.Lots of love, Michelle
