Just another day in Nepal....

SO, as the title of this post would suggest, I'm getting used to life here. I have a daily routine now and it's starting to feel more like I'm living here (albeit temporarily) than like I'm a tourist. I have a standard walk to work, and it seems like even the Nepalese who live along that route are starting to recognize. I can even recognize the wild dogs that frequent my route and I'm sure by the end of my time here, I'll have given them all names.
I've already lost quite a bit of weight here (at least 5 lbs I think), which is probably a combination from doing so much walking, eating so healthily, and having been sick for about a week... But now my host mother has discovered my massive sweet tooth and has been feeding me Nepali desserts every night... I guess that's the way it goes. I'm still losing weight, but not quite as quickly, so hopefully I won't be skeletal by the time I get to Israel, lol.
In response to your comment, mom, I DID think of teaching Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, and we've been working on it all week. They're starting to get it. Today we did a proper lesson using a white board and had them all draw pictures of body parts and copy the corresponding English words. We've also done some Hokey Pokey, which they love. One of the children I've grown close to is going home tomorrow. She's just going back to her village temporarily, for the biggest Nepali festival, Dasain, which is in October. She probably won't be back before I leave though :(.
One of the girls, Isha, has been acting out a bit lately. We were watching cartoons today and all of a sudden, she started pulling the plug out of the wall and then she started hitting the other kids. We tried to discipline her, but she didn't pay attention and kept trying to hit the other children. Finally, I took her out side, and she started crying. It was a bit hard to tell because usually the children cry when you separate them or discipline them, but I think perhaps there was more behind it for her. She recently lost her younger brother, and before that, her mom as well. Her dad's new wife doesn't want her, so the manager of Projects Abroad in Nepal, Shanika, has been paying for her to stay at MSPN. I think this fit of anger may have been a reaction to the trauma she's faced. She's normally a very sweet girl. It's really sad to see, but I don't really know how to help her other than to treat her like the other children and give them all lots of love. The oldest boy, Latkumar, has been acting out too, and I wonder if perhaps he has more of an idea of what's going on than the other children.
So that's it for me. Just another day in Nepal. Oh, and I just finished Eat, Pray, Love for what I believe is the fourth time although it may have been the 5th...
