Marugue, Day 4...

It was Friday today and i just woke up. Marugeu came to my room and told me it was too hard to get food so we would get some food at the village five miles away. we walked there for about 2 until a taxi came an we hopped in. We told the driver we would pay him with food if when we get back. We went into the market and I had about 2 dollars to spend that day and so for $1.00 I got me and Marugeu and spent another 25 cents for uncooked rice for the driver. He also gave us a ride back to the middle of our village where we walked to the school while eating. This time we were not quiet and Marugeu was telling me about how lucky i was to have an education from The U.S and kept telling me to take advantage of that, he also told me that if he was in my place in the U.S that he would try to get a good education so that he could get a good job get money and send it back to the village and help his country. By the time we got to the school it was about 10 O'clock and we were late we walked into the classroom and Jaime immediately shoved me up to the front of the classroom. I asked the class to tell me what we learned yesturday and one little girl raised he hand, I called on her and she told me. But she forgot how to sound out the Jj. But otherwise she recited what we learned right. For the rest of the day we completed learning about the rest of the alphabet after Jj. By the time we got back to house it was about 5:00 and we saved our water that we got at the school so we could make our corn. We steamed our corn and ate. When we finished everything it was already 7:00. Again we went outside to harvest and tend the crops. we watered and pulled weeds and made sure everything was cooking good. Then we both went to bed.
