So I pretty much hit the ground running during my first week. I went to school and barely had my feet under
me-there are 250 students to meet, learn names/personalities/etc. And I have a relatively small school! My counterpart is super on the ball, though,
and we were planning on Monday already, which awesome :) But it kind of makes me wonder why I'm here
on some level. Oh well, I'm sure it will
all become clear in time.
At my new home, I unpacked and washed every article of clothing in my
posession. I did some pasear-ing
(walking around and meeting people).
Thursday was the regional teachers' meeting, which was actually qutie
enlightening. I began to see the root of
a lot fo the classroom management problems I have been observing. Saturday, Yoli (my host sister) and I went to
David (the nearby provincial capital).
We walked a lot and did some exploring.
I found my new favorite store: Arrocha.
It's essentially Walgreen's on steroids :) And we went to El Rey (supermarket) to get
stuff for curry and fruit salad. I
decided I will cook for them on Saturdays.
I'm excited about it. It turned
out pretty well and they enjoyed it. The kids were already asking what I would
be making the next week. Finally, 1 week
after arriving to site, I got to go to mass.
It made my day. It was good to be
at mass and fun to see a bunch of students.
