Emily came to my classes today at Khartoum University. We were teaching the Zoology students in on of thier lab rooms. There were mice and rats in the back of the room and chickens under the tables. In the middle of class, Emily started screaming and pointing outside. There was a monkey climbing the bars on the window! Apparently the Zoology department use to have many monkeys, but a few of them escaped. Now the campus has a problem. The students said that they have to watch their food closely, or the monkeys will steal it.

Very funny! Glad to see you are getting into the class room (nearly a full month after arriving). Took a while, but I suspect that the routine of teaching English will quickly develop and you will soon be in your groove. Keep the updates coming. They are great. They also will serve as a diary of sorts for you after you return and want to reminisce about your adventures.
