So, I have been a teacher for a whole week now. I am so tired. It is like 2:30 and i just took an hour and a half nap and really, i could go to bed right now. Im very glad to have 2 days off before I have to do any more lesson planning.
Today, being the 4th of July, we talked about Independance day. I did a lot condensing and writing on the board to try to give them some background for what Independance day is in America. Then they did a crossword puzzle. We also talked about holidays and how they are celebrated. I dont know if the kids were being shy or what but they kept telling me that Polish people didnt do or eat anythign special for holidays. They were just like, yea we go for walks, watch tv, eat dinner (a bigger dinner than normal? No) So i dont knoe about these Polish kids. Then we had them all make up holidays and present them to the class and then vote on which one they would want to celebrate. The winner was "natural day" in which you sleep in a tent and go outside and help clean up the environment and only eat fruits and vegetables. Did not really sound like my kind of holiday.
Speaking of sleeping in tents, apparently I am going to some sort of scouting jamboree thingy with my host sisters. I might miss teaching classes for a week? I dont really understand what is going on? or how long i am going? or what it is really? But i believe it involves living in a tent and there is going to be a reenactment of a medival battle and people come from all over Europe and i really hope there are bathrooms. I am scared.
Tonight I am going with my host sisters to see a 3D U2 concert at the cinema, so that should be interesting? Well I guess that is all for now. Adios amigos.
