Today was a relaxed yet work-filled day. The internet at the office wasn’t working at all today, nor was it when we stopped by the office this weekend so I was unable to post my weekend post until today either.
- We only had one class today, a Research Methods class during which we discussed our weekend homework assignments.
- After class I went directly to finish my weekend homework assignments which are due at midnight tonight. Our assignment was to practice our interviewing skills by interview a member of our host family about their ethnicity and their experiences in relation to their own ethnicity. I had originally intended to interview my host mom but ended up talking with Gael instead. We also had to practice observation and participant observation in our living room for 2 hours during the evening. The majority of my observation consisted of documenting Gael and my host mom trying to get Glendon to do his homework.
- For lunch today I went to the Mama up the street who had a choice of spaghetti with fish, beans, rice, and potat (my best guess at spelling it, it’s a root vegetable much like a potato but sweeter). I had some beans, potat, and a little bit of fish.
- After lunch I returned to transcribing my interview with Gael which was very difficult to do in French. It would have been easier for me to listen to the French and to translate it into English than it was for me to type in French.
- This evening was nothing special, I simply returned home, took a 15 minute nap along with Gael who had her first day of school today, and fell right into homework.
Below are some of the Photo Booth pictures that have ended up on my computer since I taught Glendon to use the Photo Booth application. There are many, many, many more where there came from...
