31/10: Exams

Today the students had exams, but it wasn’t that serious so that was good. I helped a bit with that and did what I have been doing the last couple of days. I have some days after the graduation where I don’t have to come to work, so I think I can do most of what I want to do and still go home around the 28^th. After work I wanted to go directly home to wash some clothes, but I had to wait awhile because of rain and thunder. One the way home the matatu was stopped by the police. I didn’t understand at first because they stopped a bit away from them to let a man out, he said something about just walking the rest of the way, but he wasn’t happy about it. Then we stopped again and that was when I first noticed the police. I had just seen the door opener/money collector give something to the driver and as I had the seat right behind the driver I could see everything. When the policeman opened the driver’s license I was there was some money in it while they were talking the policeman elegantly took the money out so that no one would notice, but I did. He had a book in his hand and took it with that hand so he could hide it behind it. Back home I got to wash my clothes with a little help from the housemaid whom I keep forgetting the name of. It stated raining again as I was washing the clothes. I washed in cold water so I am a bit sceptic about the cleanness afterwards, but we did change the water a lot of times.
