So there I was....
That's how most of our stories start out here at our school so I thought it would be appropriate now. It really is getting colder here, we are consistently in the sixties and swatted are cropping up in abundance.
Great things that have happened as late:
WE GOT A FRIDGE IN OUR ROOM! This will be great when they give us food for the weekend. And if we ever want to have a cold drink.
My computer charger broke! Now, this may seem like a terrible thing and in some respects it is. However, now I have been spending my time more wisely and I feel like I'm getting more out of the experience. I spend my days prepping for teaching, teaching, reading a novel, Talking with my room mates, writing in my journal, studying my scriptures and other such wonderful activities. I'm feeling less homesick and more fulfilled. Blessing in disguise perhaps.
I sleep for about a full eight hours a night. Enough said.
I really am loving my time here and while I know I still have a lot longer I'm still excited for it and excited for the many adventures ahead. My teaching is improving and I have been reminded that I really do love teaching, I'm not sure what it is about it but it gives me a natural high. The kids are super funny and I love getting to know their personalities. I live with awesome girls who don't gossip and share my goals in life. While we are all very different we come together and get along rather well.
It's strange to think that I have been here for a little over two weeks. It feels like a month or more.
Onwards and upwards!!!!

I've been trying to be more effective with my time. Sometimes something has to fall apart to force a change. And 8 hours of sleep? I'm so jealous.
