What's next?
Time to get back into the swing of teaching - think I'm ready! One more solo recital to get the kids prepped for (we've already presented two solo recitals: one in September, a second in October). The finale this term will be a large ensemble performance in December. After that, I fly home to Charleston for Christmas break - crazy to realize, only about 8 weeks away.
They say the season of short rains is coming...a good thing seeing as we've had no water coming to the house here for 10 days! One of my favorite Swahili words is "vumbi" = dust. It is SO dry and dusty here, and we add "joto" (heat) to that combo as well. There are quite a few dust devils (like water spouts with red earth) to be seen whenever out in the country/bush. Well, at least I won't be scraping ice and snow off my car this year!
OK so now for my newest project:
My sister Wendy and I ran two half marathons when we were in high school, so here I am 30 years later training to hopefully complete another! Kilimanjaro half marathon on March 3rd is my goal. I've just finished week 4 of a 12 week training program (thanks to my iPhone app), and with four months still to train, I am feeling positive about this project. I really wanted to get my body back in shape while here, so am chipping away slowly. Its good to have goals!
yeah, me too. Get in shape: body and soul!! Great to hear from you.
