It was a crazy week! The Chinese are soo un organized! It's un believable. Kind of funny when I think about it now, but when you're in the moment it's frusterating as ever. Today was the first day of the new semester. My homeroom class is the oldest. I have Josh, Paul, Aiden, Belinda, Angel, Bella, and Alice. I love them. I really do. They behave very well for me. Again, I taught gym class this week, my last week doing so and I am soooo excited to teach something new. Gym is just the rough end of the stick because you're up and moving around so the kids are outrageous. They're crazy! and a little less well behaved than in the other classes. But it's been fun teaching gym :) Kitchen is next, ha. I'm looking forward to it. Teaching as a whole went a little better this week. The kids are starting to speak, not as well as we'd like, but it'll come. There were a couple of rough days with one of my classes. My third class, with William and Leo in it. OH Leo. Leo is a trouble maker but he is the sweetest thing at the same time. I love him. It's so funny. He'll be getting into mischief and misbehaving and I'll get stern with him and say, "Leo. Keep your hands to yourself." and he just looks at me, with the cutest serious face and says, "okay, okay, okay." Three times in a row. haha.... he's adorbale. He leaves no room to get upset with him. We're trying to be extra strict with the kids this week so that we can set a tone for the semester and let them know who's boss and how things will be. It seems to be working for the most part. There are always the kids that are just going to do whatever whenever no matter what you do. Leo, William and Ichino fall in that category. Those three boys make me want to rip my hair out. puh! We had our first cooking class this week, and that was so great. Michael taught us how to make bread. Who knows if it'll turn out the same when we try to make it back home, but I guess we'll find out.
New ILP teachers came this week. They arrived Saturday. It was fun to spend some of Sunday with them and talk with them, give them tips, heads up, and get to know them. It'll be fun.
WHOA! I was sitting chatting with Mom today, and she called me. SHE CALLED ME! on my apartment phone, and then she 3 wayed Tarah on. It made my day. Made me so happy.
