My first day in school!

Not teaching?

I woke up at 5:30 am to get ready for the day. Left at 8 am and was picked up by my co-teacher around 8:10 and on the way to school we go. Walk in and said hellos. Then, I find out there were no English classes today. So I just sat at my desk trying to busy myself. None of my family was online to chat with so there was nothing really to do.  Besides little kids stopping by just to say hi/hello.

Finally, after ages of being bored it was lunch time. They give teachers so much food, I’m still full and that was over 7 hours ago. After eating back to the desk I went. Then, I decided to just look around and see what was in my desk.

Coming to find out the other teacher that was there before me left rather suddenly, after being there a year. I saw the letters that the kids wrote to him and it was pretty sad.

After all that, there was still nothing to do, besides browse the internet. I was still trying to find out how to turn the hot water on in my apartment. I had the sniffles this morning. But now I know how to…I think.

After work

School is done by 4:30 so most of the teachers are gone by 5pm including the principal. I was waiting on my co-teacher so that I can pick up my health results from the hospital. Luckily they didn’t have to check my blood pressure again. So, we have to send that off to the people who give out the ARCs. I don’t remember what they are called anymore.

My co-teacher was asking why I don’t talk much. I never did and I’m shy around new people. I have to find my place before I talk. Plus most wouldn’t even understand what I say anyways.

Home…finally

Finally came home around 6pm. I’ve been up forever and bored senseless. Then, I remembered to try to connect to some wifi. I finally found one that actually works. For now at least. But I’m sleepy and it’s almost 6am back home. This sucks, I wanted to skype with my family face to face since I got here and still can’t. Kind of sad about that.

My first day of actually teaching should be tomorrow. I found out I’d be doing overtime and getting paid for that. I’ll still be done before 4:30 so why not?
