Today was my first day teaching, and it was a total success!! None of the kids died, or got hurt, or cried, and they were all dismissed with smiles on their faces :D So... better than I expected!
I took over Ate Beth's grade 2 class today because she was at an orientation. It was only a half day of school anyway so it wasn't a big deal. Starting tomorrow and for the rest of my time here I'll be teaching the grade 3 Reading class at 9:00, and the grade 2 Reading class at 11. So that leaves me with an hour long break in between.. I'm sure there will be more work to be done tomorrow, but I'm going to try to sneak away to watch some of the Boston/Vancouver game. I can't believe that the team I've been cheering for all along is playing for the Stanley Cup tomorrow and I'm not with my family to see it. Kind of sad.
After school I'll have an hour to bathe, rest, and get lunch, and then I'll join the youth to prepare for our ministry in Gruar. My favourite squatter!! I don't know what our ulam will be tomorrow, but the cooking will commence as early as 11 in the morning and then we'll start bagging it all in the afternoon so we're ready to drive there for 5 ish. I'm so excited to see Mae Mae again! We didn't get to go last week because it was raining too hard, so I've only seen her once since I've been back- the day I got here. That's what the picture is from. I'm still in my travel clothes, haven't showered or anything, but I was so excited to see her and the other kids I had to go!
I'll be waking up at 7 or 8 tomorrow to go get breakfast and eat and pick my stories for the classes and I'm already tired at 11:30 so I should really go to bed. Goodnight!
