Things that make me happy ...

- Wearing my "hakuna matata" shirt ... yes it's cheesy but was given to me by a Kenyan (thanks, Laura!), and it just declares "today is going to be a good day." Also, it makes everyone laugh, and that's nice, as long as I laugh with them!

- Seeing my students perform songs, dances, and poems in preparation for a little performance next week. They are really quite talented.

- Care package that arrived today - thanks, Chrissy!

- Having water and power, and using both to take a nice shower.

- Unlimited internet for one week, and all the fun that comes with that!

- Making homemade "fudge" - supposed to be no-bake cookies, but they don't really harden (but they're still great). Perfect when you want something very chocolaty but don't have access to real chocolate (only cocoa powder).

- Three day weekend since tomorrow there is a "games day" at another school.

- Grading exams and realizing my students actually improved since last time.

- Group of visitors arriving on Sunday! A short-term trip is coming to Ribe for a week to do work on the new school building and help set up the library. It's going to be so fun having more friends here and we're looking forward to hopefully accomplishing a lot!

- Oh, and this picture:
