Everytime I walk into my room I am confronted by small piles and large boxes that I really must sort in to some kind of order... and I only have 11 days left in which to do this! The children who are reading this know that I am quite a tidy teacher in the classroom, often asking for chairs to be tucked in and even appointing a pencil monitor in an effort to win the 'Tidy Classroom Cup'. Well children, I think you would be shocked if you saw Miss Lamborn's bedroom!
The 'Boots' voucher I was kindly given by Year 3 parents at the end of the year has been put to very good use. I bought so much that I actually had to go and ask if they had a trolley I could use! Thet didn't and the man at the checkout desk looked at me in horror when I arrived with a number of over-flowing baskets full of bottles and boxes, lotions and potions. It is very difficult to predict how much shampoo and mosquito spray I will need for a whole year! I have also made many other purchases that I am very excited by, such as a 20 litre Solar Shower!
I know a little more about where I will be living now and was even lucky enough to meet up with somebody that I am going to be working with and living 10 minutes away from. I will be living in town called Kibungo, which is about 100km from the capital city Kigali. I should be able to access the internet (although it will be much slower than what I am used to) and so I will use this blog to keep you updated about my adventure.
I hope all the children reading this have had a fantastic summer holiday and you are looking forward to seeing all your friends back at school soon. I would love to hear what you are up to, so do please post a comment on here. I had better get back to my to do list, as I still have many things to organise and lots of friends to see. Write soon!
