dear mom and dad,

so monday was the big day and wow i was so drained! that first day of classes really sucks the energy out of you. im sure it was all my nerves. the classes went fairly OK tho, i was prepared and the classes were very small (8 in one and 5 in the other), tho i heard the numbers will swell as the term progresses. overall i had a great time, the kids are so cute and were well behaved, but we'll see if the manners change as they spend more time with me. i think it'll be ok, i put down the iron fist.

i met another new teacher yesterday, it was her first day and she was so stressed. i felt so bad for her, i really thought she was going to cry. but i dont blame her; she didnt find out what classes she'd be teaching until 1am that very morning. at least she actually got training in the classes she teaches :) i talked to her at the end of the day, she was much calmer. i told her that we all know it's going to go smooth like butta next time.

i had tuesday off and used it to do my lesson plans and talk to the school about moving. still tentatively set for mid to late week. doing my lesson plans was super easy this time. im glad. how is everything there? mom, how is amado? are you still drinking coke zero? none of the full calorie stuff mom, ok? and you too, dad!
