If you can believe, this trip into town marks the completion and celebration of the end of my first quarter of teaching! I made it through many hot afternoons standing in front of the class with chalk on my hands and coating my throat, and sweat dripping into my eyes, while trying to control rowdy 10th graders…oh and did I mention, try to teach them?
One highlight of the past couple weeks includes playing guitar with our neighbor (and now my host sister), Amanda. She knows a few songs like, Love Will Keep Us Alive by the Eagles and Wonderful Tonight (and then just repeats them….Marshallese are fans of repetition…) Everyone that plays guitar seems to be great at strumming, harmony, and rhythm while singing, all things I need to work on, so it seems I am in the right place! Allison’s host sister, Delacia plays guitar and is a leftie. Instead of stringing the strings backwards like I think lefties in the states do, she has learned how to play by just switching the guitar upside down, which is pretty impressive! I brought my guitar out and have been playing along
