Animal Farm

Animals are a rare thing at The National Academy but apprently not here in Uganda. Firstly, staff and pupils wade through the heards of goats in the courtyard. The Turkeys make a racket and disturb lessons and yesterday a chicken casually walked into my classroom and tried to eat the chalk gathered at the bottom of the blackboard. Today an impromptu rat caused a commotion in an English lesson. The pupils spilled out into the courtyard, needless to say the rat didn't last long. Above all these however, stands/flies the omnipresent mosquito. As lessons start early and finish late they are often plagued with the whining of the little beasts who bring malaria.
