Ok a proper blog entry

The main reason I have not written a blog entry for awhile has been because Peace Corps training was just too damn boring to write about. So you can guess then that I am done with training and now I am living at my site in the Oshikoto region, which is in the north, an area called Owamboland (commonly referred to as the 4 0's). 60% of the country lives in the 4 O's. My new home is on a homestead/farm about 5km or so from the school I am currently teaching at. Yes, I already started teaching but I'll get to that later. I live with a family, but the children of the parents live elsewhere throughout Namibia. So they mostly have nephews, nieces, and 2 'servants' living there. Altogether, there are 11-12 people living here. My Tate is the Headman of the village, a farmer, and the Head of Department for Languages. He's friendly, but we have some miscommunication every once ina while. I need to speak slower and he has to get used to my accent. My Meme is also very friendly, but our interactions have been limited. She is a principal at a junior primary school just near the homestead, and the school does not have electricity. I'll have to write seperate blog post about each of the various children and servants living at the homestead. I have 2 rooms and they are both much bigger than what I'm used to having. Back in the US, I was living in a tiny room and sleeping on a futon and living with 2 other people who rarely cooked or cleaned. And now I have a double size bed and a big room with a wardrobe and a seperate big room with a kitchen table, 4 chairs, a fridge, and hopefully a working stove. This is way more than I expected. Sleeping under my mosquito (just to keep me sane cause of I'm trying to get used to the wall spiders that keep my room clean of insects) is one of the best feelings. My pit latrine is great by the way. I get to pee at night under the stars and look at the milky way. That's what I'll leave you with.
