Its easier teaching on leadership then on computers! At least with Leadership they have a basis to work from, but computers some know nothing at all. I have had questions like which is the monitor? What does the keyboard do? Do I need an email address to send an email? Perhaps things we take for granted everyone would know. So it has been back to basis. All the computers at the college have a various, which is quite good considering they don’t have internet access, so they will be introducing some basis rules to prevent students using disks from outside.
I have been very busy, not only preparing for the lectures every day, but also writing exam papers and computer handouts. Most days I am working over dinner in the evening and right up to 10pm most nights – certainly no holiday. Fortunately I have Life of Mars DVDs to watch before I go to bed. I have a staple diet of scrambled egg and toast for breakfast, rice for lunch and then a meal at the hotel in the evening. I did have the local speciality ugli yesterday with the students.
The hotel has put a new TV in my room, with a remote control, although it only has two channels that receive anything! There is only one socket in the room, so as I am usually charging up one of my electronic devices I don’t watch much TV. I have my Ipod for music.
The weather has been quite consistent, it is always warm. In the morning it is sunny, and then rains in the afternoon, normally when I am walking back from town. On Monday we had hail stones, and so I had to stop teaching as it was too loud due to the iron roof and I couldn’t be heard.
I am speaking at a seminar at the Kericho Church on Saturday, focusing on commitment and leadership. This means I have had to write another handout, and then I need to take it to the computer shop to print, and afterwards to another shop to get it photocopied.
So I still have a sermon to write for Sunday, and then next week will be bust as I will have to do all the marking of the exams. This is certainly not a holiday – in fact I will need one when I get home!
