First Day of School

      Today was the first day of the new school year here. This means it was the first day of teaching something besides recorder today. It went relatively well I think. They didn't move along quite as fast as I was expecting in math, but they did really well with English (reading and grammar). Today has given me a better idea how to plan for the future and I'm glad that it went well.
       Today was also Mr. Waid's birthday. Tuli and a few of the other staff planned a party for him. Today was a day that homesickness really hit me. It was a day that I was reminded my birthday was not spent with family. Instead it was spent in a van sitting for 7 hours and with people I haven't known for that long. Don't get me wrong, they are awesome people, but there is something about birthdays that make one miss home and family.
