An interesting day!

Let me step back here a second and tell you a little bit about yesterday first.

Okay yesterday I was planning on taking some pictures of the village but the weather did not co-operate with me. It was really cold and windy and there were even some snow flurries. Actually most of the day there were snow flurries... But no actual snow on the ground (disappointing all of you who want more snow pictures). Anyway, I didn't really feel like walking really far since it was so cold.

Last night I got a call from my boss who asked me if I wanted to be a teacher's assistant for the day because they need one at the Donduchoen American Community School. I said Okay, although I am not really sure why... Because we all know how much I like kids. But, I thought, "how hard could it be since teacher's assistant doesn't sound so bad, I just have to help them with work or whatever."

So I got there this morning and it turns out that I really am not an assistant. I am a substitute for 23 kids ranging in the age of 11-18. Which was interesting. It is a two room school. I was hanging out with the older kids. The only lessons I was given was spelling, grammar, and vocab. The rest of the time they were supposed to work quietly amongst themselves. Yeah, right.

But no one was injured, and they have 1.5 hours for lunch, and it really wasn't all that bad. I could do it again. Just not tomorrow.

Whew.

And, thanks to Uncle Buddy and Ed Packard for revamping my picture from Guam. Both of you had the same idea. I guess I had better not post any more pictures unless they're perfect! :) Just kidding.

Off I go to unwind.

Um. It wasn't quality control. It was an attempt at letting the little lights (of your faces!) shine.

Sheesh.
