One Day Closer to School

I got to school today and we met as a PYP staff. We learned how to use our projectors and new computers. After our meeting, Budi and I went and worked on our bulletin boards. Hopefully I will be able to post pictures of them later.

Our classroom is coming together. The floor has been polished and waxed, the walls are getting painted tomorrow, and a good chunk of our bulletin boards are ready. We haven't started planning yet. Because our classrooms need more work, we are putting off planning.

My new friend Elise, who is a fellow expat, joined Leanne and I for lunch. Samini made us the most amazing lunch. It was spaghetti with squash, tomato chunks, broccoli, carrots, and chicken. It sounds odd, but it was AMAZING!

I had to leave campus a little after 1 this afternoon to go to immigration. Since we are boulet (in case you forgot - boulet is white people), we got priority in the immigration office. I felt weird doing this because there were so many people just waiting and not moving.

I got my picture taken for my visa and I look like an oompa loompa! I had to adjust my hair out of my eyes and then the guy took it while I was turning my head. Oh my! It's so repulsive! The guys in the immigration office laughed and laughed. Even though we couldn't understand each other on a language level, we both understood how funny my picture was. Too bad they didn't offer to let me retake the picture.

I got back from immigration sooner than what I was planning on. It was nice to be back earlier though. I ran into Ibu (Miss/Lady) Jenny, who is the principal of PYP and she asked me to take on a Spring production for the PYP. She heard of my interest in drama and acting and suggested that I might like to be a part of it. So I am co-directing it with the dance teacher.

Ah! Now I can take a break and toss my feet up. It's so good to finally get my blog updated. Thanks for your patience and prayers!

Love you all!
