On Monday our teacher training course ended. I’m actually a bit relieved because I was constantly being distracted by people during that period and I can now fully concentrate on my work.
And I think that’s the first time in my life I’ve ever been really relieved that I could concentrate on my work. It’s still a little vexing when I’m writing the sixth draft of a chapter, but it’s more then worth it for the sweet sweet knowledge that I am writing, and I am being paid for it.
Yes it’s true that I only make 500 rupees (that’s ten dollars) a month, but the money doesn’t matter, and that’s actually quite a lot in India. Besides I'm volunteering here and didn't expect to get paid in the first place. What matters is that I am writing for a living. The satisfaction I feel when I finally do finish the chapter, is something I never received from school.
Anyways we’re back to working in the office. On Sunday Danielle is leaving and a few days later Melody is following suit.
P.S. I’ve put some more photos up in the posts, “A Day in the Life”, “Barabunki”, “Click, Click Vroom”, and “The Woman’s Room”
