Yesterday and today were very lax, so I've combined the blogs. We had a day at the office with our fellow Ohioan Hanah (with one h!!) where we corrected some very amusing attempts at English
. We actually finished editing very early, so we ended up working on other things throughout the day. Kyle and I are working on a video and field report for the Adopt-A-Village program, so we spent some time doing that. We're waiting on about 12 minutes of audio translation, hopefully that will be done by Monday! Today we got our schedule changes twice. What was originally a medical camp day became a sports day and then turned into a Community College day. We spent some time in the morning with the students and had the rest of the day off. We ended up playing with the kids for a couple hours and we took another walk through the campus. We taught them duck-duck-goose, but I'm pretty sure they didn't understand much beyond "touch people and run." It was fun nonetheless.
I also broke significant ground with the German interns Alisha & Sabrina. The rest of their team left on Friday so it is just the 5 of us until we leave. They asked if we thought that the German language sounded angry. At which point my head exploded and I showed them this video. It became a point of humor for us and now we punctuate sentences with angry German words. 'Tis fun.
Tomorrow we have another service at the English church and then the rest of the day off. Might be time to bang out some campus designs and finish up a report! We have two more days at the office, (one of which might turn into shopping) and then a half day before we take off for Bangalore and our flights home (***cry***). This trip has been challenging, exhausting, but extremely enlightening for the both of us. We're still having some trouble processing and expressing how incredible things have been! It will be hard for us to come home, even though there are many good things waiting for us in Columbus.
