So I am going to start at today and work my way back... it is my first day at school and holy cow I am EXHAUSTED!!! My class seems fabulous except I have a student that balls every time he looks at me. I wish there was something I could do to fix it, but it seems like I just make it worse. Thank goodness for my Chinese teacher who is a miracle worker. They say once the kids get used to a foreign teacher it gets better, I sure hope they are right!!
Last night Lady Gaga was in Taichung.. .I guess it was a welcome party for the new teachers :) We walked past where she was playing and it was pure caos.. but super cool. The teachers and I attempted to watch from the roof but a building was in our way.. but we did see some huge GAGA fans that became estatic when I yelled Gaga :)
This weekend was also Canada Day and 4th of July Celebrations. Canada day was super fun, the teachers and I just chilled in the grass ate some amazing food, and enjoyed a nice day out. We worked at America Day and made friends with people from all over.
I have also ridden my first scooter, experienced the craziness that is the night market, moved into my RIDICULOUSLY sweet house (6 bedrooms , 3 baths, 4 girls, and I have a balcony), set up my classroom including a leaf canopy and all, learned some more Chinese , eatten McDonalds :( and so much more.. but my brain is completely shot today from all the playing outside, singing , and dancing.
I think I am really going to love it here. The people are amazing, the place is beautiful, and the mountains are a perfect touch to get away from it all.. which we will be doing this weekend!
