To sum up today - rubbish! Today has got to be the day where I've been most homesick so far. We arrived back in La Hoya yesterday (where there was a mouldy fridge and lots of tidying to be done) to find out school won't be open till tomorrow and that we won't start teaching until Monday - if there isn't another storm! So having started our fifth week here and not even touched on teaching yet (school's only been open three days in total), I've been starting to wonder what on earth I'm doing here. We're still been made to wake up early for a 'full working day'but there's not much to do around the school apart from study spanish - something I'm starting to get sick of. Basically today I've been wallowing in self pity having no energy and sleeping most of the day because it's so hot. However, tonight I was persuaded to go for a walk with Rosie where we met the Haitian children, and I was suddenly reminded of why I was here. I came here to help people and see another way of life and that's exactly what I'm doing; nothing around here goes smoothly so I just have to go with the flow and enjoy the ride! School opens tomorrow... again, and I'm looking forward to it. Having been through the flood with the village I'm not feeling like the tourist I once was when I first arrived.
