That's right folks. Mr Andrew is a regular Jack of All Trades. From giving out medicinal doses of chocolate for mental health purposes to climbing up on the roof to turn off the leaking hot water tank; from "teaching" economics to his one and only accounting student to trying to keep complete chaos from reigning over his 46 Physical Science students during lab time, Mr Andrew keeps occupied.

 

He is the current champion of receiving packages and mail, with no missing packages en route and the most received, leading us all to believe that there is some kind of mysterious mail connection between Illinois and Malawi. We would like to thank whomever is responsible for his years of experience in the dishroom because he is, hands-down, our fastest dishwasher. He could do with a little work on grace though. If you will return your eyes to the nickname section of this report, you will see the name "Meister Klepka". This was given to him by Ania, the Polish girl who is now in Tanzania, while we were in Rome. If you don't know Polish I will give you a few hints to help you translate it. Change the K to a C. Change the ep to an um. Change the ka to a sy. Got it? Yeah... it's perfect. He might benefit from one of Athena's bibs. (Most of you probably know that Athena is his newest neice, but for those of you who didn't now you do.)

 

Mr Andrew is the fratboy of the community. I mean this in the best possible way, applying all of the positive qualities assigned to this stereotype. He likes to have fun. He is a young spirit (actually the two of us were mistaken for high schoolers while in Rome). He does what needs to be done without much complaining to speak of. He is the most easygoing of us all - being quite content to occupy himself quietly by playing guitar or watching one of the 5 Seinfeld reruns that we have on tape. And lastly, he is the distributor (and sometimes the cause) of a great many laughs.

 

I will close with a more personal note. I must declare that I have adopted Mr Andrew as my brother. I would like to assure his sisters that I am taking good care to make sure he doesn't miss the wonderful teasing and joking that sisters can provide. So you may put any worries about that to rest. We are having plenty of laughs here in this house. Some might begin in effort to dissipate anger, sadness, or frustration but by the end we're usually all in smiles and any grimaces remaining are from aching sides.
