Sorry it has been a while!

So, life has been super busy since I last wrote. School has started, I've been sick (feel much much better, thanks for all the prayers!), and it has gone from a beautiful 70 degrees to being in the 40's!

So, let's start with school. On my first day of school, I walked 181 steps to my office, watched several graduation exams (ask me if you want to know more), and then left to go to campus 2 to teach my first class. Upon arriving at school 2, I learned that 3 classes (40 students) would be in my one class (13 students) for the day because the other classes teachers were sick. In the middle of my first EVER class, a boy pours a bottle of water over another boys head. Yes, you did read that right, he poured a bottle of water over his head. Then, the boy who had just gotten drenched, proceed to leap out of his chair and get the other boy in a strangle choke hold. At which point, I had to break up the fight by literally yanking one boy off the other boy. Yay, for great first day of school stories!

Other than that, school is school and teenagers are teenagers. I am enjoying class and will let you know more after I have a full week of actual lessons and not just getting to know you stuff.

I was sick from stress, but am now feeling much much better. Thank you so much for all the prayers!

Other things that have happened, I went to a really cool street art/graffiti exhibit. I took a paddle boat on the Voulta river which runs down the center of Prague. This was probably the coolest thing that I have done since I have been here. You got to see the city from the water, relax, and take beautiful pictures (which I will post when I figure out how to get them from my camera to my computer!). I really loved being by the river.

So, I am going to start a things I find weird section of my blog. This week, the thing I find weird have to deal with babies and dogs (Czech dogs are definitely to most well behaved dogs in the world!). So, people will take theirs dogs into restuarants, but leave their babies in carriages outside. There are buses that allow dogs, buses that allow babies, but not buses that allow both. The whole baby/dog relationship is very interesting.

Things to pray for:

Lesson Planning - Coming up with interesting, fun things that interest juniors and seniors is hard!


Love everyone! Talk to you later!
