School starts

Well, this past week was the beginning of classes. I was excited and nervous to see the students and actually have to speak in front of all of them. I visited two of my six schools and Just did an lesson introducing myself for all of them. The students were also encouraged to ask me questions, most of them were run of the mill questions about me. However, one kid asked "Where will you go on you honeymoon?" I really had no answer for this and just stood there for a bit, until the teacher diverted the question. I also visited an elementary school, which was an adventure. I woke up early, because this school is the farthest from me. Thinking I had to be there at 8:30, I left at 7:30 just in case I got lost. I did get lost, hardcore, ended up in the next town over. So, I went around asking how to get to the school, most people were just like "Go that way." Which kinda helped, because it led to a little elderly lady who gave me a 15 minute description of how to get there; most of which I couldn't understand. I was able to pick up a few landmarks and such, so it wasn't a total waste. Anyway, I get there about 9, and thought I was late and had missed a class, but the secretary was like, "You're an hour early." We both got a good laugh about me going to the wrong town. The school is really small, population wise; only 12 students. They all seemed excited to meet me, which was a relief, it made it easier to talk and play with them. After I was done with lessons there, the Vice Principal, showed me how to get back the proper way, I also saw the mistake I made that got me lost; so now I'll remember how to get there for sure. All in all, the first week went well, met a lot of students and teachers, and will meet more next week, when I visit some of my other schools. Today I took some pics around my apartment here, I also plan to go to the beach in Ogi with some of the others, so I should have some pics of that later. Tomorrow I'm going to be volunteering in the triathlon, passing out bananas to the runners, should be fun. I plan to take some pics of that as well. Well, I hope you enjoyed the post and until next time.
