I'm Boring

I really am. I did nothing today except sleep for an embarrassing amount of time. I left my room twice. Once to heat up my leftover dumplings from last night, and once to make Easy Mac.

Megan came over and we had another lovely life talk. She's just the greatest, seriously. We then tortured ourselves by watching clips from The Notebook on Youtube. We're getting that movie and we're going to watch it one night this week along with P.S I Love You. Sob fest is on the way. If only we could find Steel Magnolias... That really might be my favorite movie ever. I could watch it every day and I would still bawl at the scene in the cemetery where M'Lynn has her rant about how life isn't fair.

I guess I did do two productive things. I made a powerpoint for my ELE first grade classes this week about shapes and colors. Hopefully it works well for them. First grade is so hard because they are starting out from scratch and don't understand or speak any English. This is especially clear when I teach my first grade rotation with ILP now. They're cute, they really are, but I will stick to second grade.

I also planned out nearly every detail of my imaginary wedding on Pinterest. Don't judge me, people.

Someone asked me what my daily schedule was like here in Changzhou. Since I'm such the people pleaser, here you go.

10:55-11:40 (Monday and Tuesday) 10:00-10:45 (Thursday and Friday)~ I teach ELE. I teach first grade every day except for Friday, and that's when I teach second grade ELE.

11:30ish-2:00ish~ I skype with friends and family, email, and finish lesson plans for my ILP classes.

2:15~ I go pick up my kids!

2:20-4:45~ I teach my ILP classes. (12:00-2:30 on Fridays because their parents pick them up at 3)

4:45-5:00~ I drop my kids off to their next class.

5:00~ Dinner starts at five, but I don't usually go.

Sometimes after dinner, we go to the night market or get Muslim food or do whatever we want! When we get back it's catch up on Facebook, email, and then bed!
