I started my now job today. I'm teaching 5 classes Monday through Friday from 9-12. The ages of the children are 2-6, but each class only varies by a year. My first day went pretty well, I'm exhausted though. The place is in the middle of nowhere, it's outside the city. The only reason why I'm doing it is cause I'm done at noon so I can get back by 1:40, which is a lot earlier than my other job when I got back at 6 sometimes. I really hope it works out, the people there are all really nice. There's a lady from Kentucky and I talked to her a lot today. The lady (I can't for the life of me remember her name) told me the school might be finished in early July, and she's not sure if I would have to stay that long. She's not in charge though, and the school made it sound like they want me to stay as long as possible. So we'll see.
Since I wrote a blog post about weird things about China, I'll say some things about what I like or things I might miss.
One of the awesome things about China is the street food. Besides the normal fruit, the more common things are charcoal cooked sweet potatoes, fruit on a stick covered in hard sugar, and roasted chestnuts. There are also random breakfast things that I've never tried, and I've also seen people make sushi on the street. I don't usually eat street food, but I like the fact that I could if I wanted. The potatoes and chestnuts smell amazing too.
Another thing that's fun in China is the people who sell things on the street. There are a lot of different things from mugs to books to toilet brushes to bunny rabbits (they're so tiny!). The best part is when a cop drives up and all the people scatter (they don't have licenses to sell things) on their bicycle carts, but they're laughing the entire time that they're pedaling away from the cops. I've only witnessed it a couple times, but it's really funny.
We have Netflix again...probably not a good idea...
We will probably be in California in the fall. I get excited thinking about the awesome weather...and blue sky...
Skyping with people since my last blog post has been fun :):):)
And for those of you who've said we need to skype soon...3 months ago...we should probably do that sometime.
Not sure what else to say...enjoy the snow hahaha :)
