Today and yesterday have been very long. Don't get me wrong I love going out and exploring but man I am tired. There is so much to take in every day and learn. Those of you who know me really well know that I am not very good at remembering things but here I have been trying to remember everything. Also, I have never been very good at directions and here that is all there is. No one will ever ask you for your address because they will just ask for your directions. Most of the streets here are not named and not all of the houses have numbers so you have to remember the directions to your house or at least the landmarks near your house.
Today, I felt a little bit overwhelmed with going from school to the artisan market, but it was fun. I just took in alot of information in one day. At the market everyone was trying to sell you something and today only you could have a discount (yeah I have heard that before). Although, I did end up buying a purse for $6 because my other purse broke, and I did meet some very nice people. I really did enjoy the market but what I loved the most was the street it was on. The street it was on had a long sidewalk full of people and stores. Oh it would be such a great place to go people watching, I loved it. I am realizing more and more that I really do have to figure out how the bus line works. Kelly has been explaining it to me but I need to ride the bus a few more times to figure it out.
Tomorrow I start my classes! I am so excited! I have four classes language, phonetics, and two grammatical classes. With the way the classes are designed I will have the same classmates in all of my classes, and there are only two other students in my class. So in each class I will be with Matt and Sarah, both very nice people. The classes are designed to be small in order to maximize our learning experience.
Also, at least for the first trimester I am our class representative so I will be helping out with the student council. I am excited about it. We have our first meeting tomorrow during recess. Yes, we do have a 25 minute recess in the morning after our first two classes in order to let our minds rest. It is also a good time to get to know other people. On Friday the director of the school Julie Chamberlain will be hosting a singles night for everyone to get to know one another, basically it is a girls night out because there is only two single boys on campus. It will be alot of fun. I really love our director and the other girls are super nice. It has been so interesting hearing everyone's stories about where they are going and what God is doing in their lives.
Prayer Request:
Please pray that I get a good nights sleep. I have been unable to sleep through the night since I arrived. I think it is because I am adjusting to going to bed early and getting up early, plus all of the new sounds so please pray that I can start sleeping well. Thank you =D
