My Frist impressions of Marc

So for those of you who dont know Im dating Marc. He was a teacher to Siha with me until he went to university..

13 July 2007
A guy teacher (Marc) came up to me, I had met him yesterday and he said that he was looking for me yesterday; and asked if I was able to walk. He wants to take me around the area to some waterfalls and such. As soon as he said that I was like ok. I don’t care how far away it is. So tomorrow I think that I’m going to go on a walk with him and whoever comes with us. One thing that will really piss me off is if because of the thing with me an Donald the other guys back off. If that happens I’m going to be so mad.

Also the guy (Marc) that I was supose to go on a walk ditched me again. My plan for tomorrow, not to let him leave my sight after lunch. Im kind of glad that we didn’t go today because I was having trouble staying awake. The roommate just came over and gave me his eggs. how nice.

It was funny, I was in the lower office all day, at one point Orio came over and said that I had to go to the science office. Their fighting over me. Donald said that he was the only winner, I said that he was the most persistent so far.

I am going to sleep so good tonight. Marc and I went on a walk this afternoon. Walk is not really a good description, it was more of a hike. The terrain is up or down, not really any flat parts, not even the bridges that we walked across were level. I liked it, but we had to stop like 4 times so I could rest. Apparently he does these walks like everyday. It kicked my ass. Now I understand why they all have such nice butts, they really work them in the freakin hills. We made a big loop, Im fine now but I know that Im going to be really sore tomorrow when we go to Moshi. I told him that I was going to go to Moshi tomorrow by myself, he said that he would accompany me because I want to get a cell phone and he said that most people cant speak English very well and it would be hard to get cell phone.

I saw my first monkeys. We were walking and he stopped me and pointed in the trees. The monkey moved as so we walked off the path and got closer; it was really cool because one started to make a warning call to the others. I didn’t get the best pictures but they are wild monkeys, come on. While we were walking I had mention that I wanted to see monkeys, at first he pointed at something in a tree (avocado) he asked me if I knew what it was, I said “Monkey?!” He laughed, it was a guy that was up there knocking avocados off the tree. I laughed, unknown to him that some people call black people in the states. I felt really bad.

It was also interesting, when we were walking I said that I was sorry to be slowing him down, and asked him if I was boring him. He didn’t understand why I would say this. I told him that growing up I got used to boys hanging out with me because they wanted my sisters. The guys that I hung out with were friends, not love interests. And basically I feel that Im a boring person and that I felt sorry for slowing him down. He said “no worries” he thinks that Im a interesting person and fun to be with. He said when Im with him, “no worries” I laughed.

So today for lunch, it was very good; it was some kind of boiled banana (yuck) and meat soup/stew. Still not liking boiled bananas but overall very good. The teacher (Marc) that I went ona walk with sat next to me. I swear I don’t understand it, whomever I am with when I got the lunch/tea room sits next to me at which ever table I sit at; and then more likely than not, not very many other people sit at the same table as us. Today when we were sitting next to each other, Donald and his group sat across the room, even though they had sat at the “high table” at tea. The guy that I was sitting next to said that people thought that we were together because we were sitting so close together. I pointed out that Mr. Orio and his friend were touching elbows, but I don’t think that he fully understood what I ment. Mr Orio and his friend were asking me when I was going to get married, I told them after I was engaged. when? After I find the right guy. They asked after I study? I said maybe one year, maybe 10 years. They said that was too long, no one would want me. I said that I would get married before that, be I had to find the right guy first. They asked what about Mr. Orio? Maybe? What about him (pointing at someone else) Maybe. I then told them that I thought that they could not handle my personality. I don’t think that they understood what I was talking about.
