School on Sunday
Monday, September 4. 2006
No, not Sunday School, but school on Sunday. My Schedule is very different than our set 5 day a week school schedule of the states. It changes from week to week. Sunday I had school. I had two classes a Senior 1 and a Senior 2 class. The two classes were very different. One class was very talkative and seemed to understand me a lot, while the other class did not respond too much and seemed to barely understand me. It's the first day of class with these students still, so I'm just getting my feel with them. I met the Principal today. He was very nice and said he'd be willing to help me with any problems I had. It was comforting to see their care for the foreign teachers.
The big thing at school was that a Chinese teacher is challenging me in basketball. Fun, because I'm fat and out of shape! But they were having trouble finding shoes that would fit me. I'm American and I have played some basketball. You wouldn't believe how big basketball is here.
I was really tired after teaching and supper. I don't even know when I feel asleep, I just laid on the bed and passed out really early. Felt great. They always say you get very tired over here. I think it's the heat and such.
