Things here are normal as ever.  It began raining the other day and has been a bit gray since.  We have been in the middle of exams this week.  The food has been refreshingly good so I haven't found the desire to go to Zeyana's as often as I used to, but then again I've only been back for about 2 weeks so far.  Things are good.

One of the 2nd grade classes' teachers has been absent for a few days during exams this past week.  Someone thought it no big deal to tell us she was out because of her heart.  Being such a young lady we were all shocked to hear that she had issues with her heart but it came as a relief to find out seconds later that what actually happened was lost in translation.  It had nothing to do with the organ beating in her chest.  The lovely young lady fell in love and was getting married.  That was surprising too, but for a much different reason.  But as it turns out, her marriage was actually one based in love, rather than being arranged.  This morning, a few days after we found out about the surprise marriage, we learned that she would not be returning to Kopila Valley to teach.  I don't think a two week notice is a thing here.  So we are now short a teacher but with so many new volunteers here it was easy to get someone to fill in for a month or so until we are able to find a new full time teacher.

In other news, exams are done at the end of this week, results will be in next week, and then we can identify which students really need extra help and where.  Then I will be able to get into the full swing of things and have a regular tuition schedule.  Let the games begin.
