Kitchen Duty

Today I had CADEC at 8 in the morning and I was assigned kitchen duty. I prefer this over baby-sitting the kids but it is still a tough job. I usually start off with making breakfast and then dishing it out to the 30 or 40 kids. Today, I pretty much washed dishes for 4 hours straight. I tried to unclog the drain, but again I couldn't because I didn't have any tools. After cleaning up the mess I made on the floor (smelled absolutely horrible). I helped make the lunch with Gesane (shown in the picture above) and then we left around 1.

We had class with Daniel at his apartment at 2 and Jiame was there. Daniel had made tacos and it was the first "foreign to Brazil" food that I had eaten since I left the states. Afterwards, I went straight to UFES for my Portuguese lesson. I keep making the mistake of not eating enough before my class and so I am starving by the time I get home. I get home at about 9:30 and then eat dinner immediately. I tried to go for a run tonight, but I could only run for about 40 minutes. I have a sore throat and the rest of my family does too. They say that it is caused by the sudden onset of the rain, and at first I laughed at them. I guess they were right.
