Lets get down to business...

So this morning we headed to the school with the intent of getting our lesson plans all planned and written for the whole first week of school. We started going to the Opening exercizes with the kids to just observe and see how things are to be done, and then we spent the majority of the morning writing and planning lessons. I have gym class for the next month. I'm so nervous it's not even funny but we'll see how it goes. After lunch which was rice and this beef and vegetable creation one of the chinese teachers, Cherry took us to the bank to withdraw money and the super store to get some things for the apartment.We all ordered in chinese and it was successful. It's a good feeling when you can communicate with someone you know doesn't speak your language. We walked and it was fun; It was a beautiful day out, the sun was actually shining and it was very enjoyable being outside. Once we got back to the school, we had to hurry to catch the bus back to Kaiyin (the area of Zhongshan that we live in) where we ate dinner at Kaiyin School and went back to the apartment. We bought cleaning supplies at the supermarket so when we got back to our flat, I finished unpacking all of my things, getting organized and then I kinda just went crazy cleaning in our bathroom and bedroom. I couldn't believe how dirty the last group left the flat. It was a little bit frustrating, but now it's clean and we'll just be sure not to do that when it's time for us to leave :)Productive night. We have internet now so I was able to communicate a little with some family members. Overall, a great day in China.
