School Daze

Two down...lots more to go!

School started yesterday. What a whirlwind. I went at 7 am both days and stayed until 4 yesterday! I am still trying to find the best shoes for the job, which I have striked out twice now. I have blisters all over, but it's kind of exciting! I did my first lesson yesterday and it went fairly well, considering that one of my students speaks no English whatsoever and a few others know very little English. Today, a few of the boys in my class looked mortified when they found out I can speak some Spanish. It was a fun moment.

Tonight, ISU is treating us to a Cubs game! We are leaving here around 5:30 for the evening's festivities. I am so pumped. I don't really care too much about baseball, but if I had to pick sides, I would definitely choose the Cardinals. But, I have never experienced a game at Wrigley, so this will still be grand. I might even humor a friend of mine and wear a Cubs shirt he insisted that I wear. Our house is divided between the Sox and Cubs, so that makes for entertaining conversation as well.

I can't wait to get to know the kids in my class more. They are just adorable and so sweet. I hope that we can help our little monolingual friend to become more bilingual by the end of the year. Her name is Yessica. How fun is that!?!?

Okay, time to do homework. Will update soon.
