Whoo! Another month, another post!

So, after my last post I spent the rest of the month doing about a week of training, and 3 weeks of "practice school" in Forecariah, where all 25 of us from my training group taught guinean students in our specific subjects for 2 hours a day. For them this was a free opportunity to get either a review of the grade they just finished, or a glimpse of the grade they're about to start, for us we got to teach real guinean students under observation from our trainers.

I taught 7th grade "Why is Chemistry Important" and "Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures"

I taught 8th grade "Atomes and Molecules" "Chemical Symbolism" and "Balancing Chemical Equations"

I taught 9th grade "Metals" and "Quantitative Chemisry" (mole calculations, mole/gram conversions, gas volume, etc).

I taught 10th grade "Oxydoreductive Chemistry"

There is more detail, hopefully I will write this tomorrow or the day after while I'm still having access to internet.

I am out of Forecariah now and I'm in a training center where I will work with my counterpart (the principal of my school) on getting my schedule and course load figured out. I go back to Forecariah (training village) this weekend, then 3 days later go to Conakry to spend a week getting everything ready to swear in and officially finish training, then go to my village and begin the "vrai" peace corps exprience. I've been volunteered/nominated to give a speech in Susu at our swearing in ceremony, so I'm both looking forward to and dreading that.

I will hopefully update again soon, I've done many interesting things, I swear, I just don't see computers very often, so I don't get to tell you all about them. This is why you should all be calling me. Tim has received the journal photocopies I sent him and he should be posting that here soon(ish). When I get to site I will have a chance to use internet a little more frequently (I've gotta bike an hour, which is waay better than most other people in my sites).

Anyway, I should get to bed.
