Enzo came up to the apartment with me to hang out for a while. He's quite fascinated with all my toys (camera, cell phone, ipod) and loves my cell phone the most. He has learned how to record his voice on it, play the game Brickbreakers, and take pictures with it. The little rascal took one of my cough drops (Hall's Citrus-the best!), thinking it was candy, and is now faking coughing in order to get another cough drop-lol. Enzo left for a bit, but it wasn't long until he was right back at the door. He nearly drove me insane playing with my cell and ipod; back and forth, back and forth.
Tomorrow is my first full day at the orphanage, and I am looking forward to it. It's going to be quiet there in the morning and early afternoon because the kids don't get out of school until 2. During that quiet time, I am going to be working on fundraising and creating a plan to better organize the kids. After what I observed the other day, the kids have no structure. I was told that their grades are not good either, which is not surprising since they have no parents, no structure, etc.
On another note, in my previous post I had noted that Jeromie said that "I never eat." When it is hot out, even in NC, I don't have much of an appetite. If I do, it's usually for water and cold foods (fruit, yogurt, etc.). The family is in disbelief over how much fruit I eat. I told them that I am quite happy with it and that there's no need to fuss over me. The other morning they offered me tea, coffee and something else to drink, but I told them I don't drink any of those items and preferred to drink water if anything. I was offered hot porridge-whatever that is, but I politely declined. I've never liked oatmeal, so I figured it was probably similar. The eating hours are rather odd here too, and I often find that we finish eating around 9:30 or 10-sometimes later!
Ok, so I am off to take a nice cold shower. Cold showers are actually welcomed by me as hot as it is here and since I'm without air conditioning. Bonuit!
