Hello Everyone! I'm really glad to hear that people are reading this stuff! Its good to read your comments so keep them coming! Today was my second day of work. It was a little more interesting than the first. I graded more papers for a while. The papers are very tedious to grade but the kids have such imaginations. I read one about a planet made of sugar and the explorers needed space suits with insulin control so that they didn't become hyper-glycemic, keep in mind all of this was in English! Then I had an hour of conversation with a teacher that I assist in a science class, we went over the lesson so she could pronounce everything she needed to properly. The lesson was on evolutionary theories so I learned some things. Then I had my first class, it was biology. It was the last class of the day and they were really hyper and talkative. They were around 13 and 14 years old. It was hard because I think that everyone just wanted to go. All I had to do was read some questions for them to answer. They all spoke very English very well, especially for it being all science related. The class ended well and the teacher told me she will give me some topics to prepare for the next week.
After class a teacher came in today to talk to me about a program where I will go once a week to a school (different than mine) and I will pretty much just hang out with some younger children and teach them beginners English, such as how to say their names and simple greetings. Its only once a week and it pays as a tutoring position. I decided to take it, I love hanging out with little kids plus it pays! So I will let you all know how that goes.
Well I don't have much more to update you on! I'm off to get dinner, I am getting Telepizza, which is my favorite pizza place here! A four cheese pizza with goat cheese and a carbonara sauce and I havent had it since I have been back! YUM!
