Day 2328. On Thursday I didn't get to sleep much after Randy returned from dropping Tammy and Emmy off at their school to pick up Sammy and take him to his school. At 8:30 am I had to get up to get ready for my 9 am student. I then had three students in a row, teaching until 1:15 pm which was pretty long.

Day 2326. After less than four hours of sleep my alarm went off at 6:15 am. Tammy was on my left, and Emmy on my right. Randy got up to make breakfast, and a few minutes later the rest of us also got up. It was their first day back in school after the two-week Christmas break, and none of us was used to getting up this early any more.

Day 2325. We didn't go anywhere on Sunday or Monday. I was still catching up on office work for Mali, and I wrote a newsletter about the Christmas activities in Mali after having talking to Paul. I also taught an hour on Monday morning and an hour in the afternoon.
