first week full time

Sorry we haven't written in a while- it's been a really busy week since we got back from Chiang Mai. On Tuesday we jumped into our full schedule which is MUCH busier than camp or just Mathus classes. Now we work Tuesday through Thursday from about 9 to 1 or 2 and at Mathus Tuesday through Friday 4 - 7 and Saturday 8 to 12. It's been hard staying on top of lesson planning and copies for all the different classes we have.

The high school has been better than we thought. The kids can be wild but highly loveable. We both started seating charts and are doing more grading than the previous teachers which I think is helping. Hopefully this next weekend will be less stressful.

This weekend we've been relaxing at home and grading mostly. Two other teachers here, David and Keysa, have gotten really into the show The Office (Keysa hadn't seen it before) so we've been watching it with them in the evening a bit. It's been really rainy here so it hasn't been great for going out.

Our other adventure this weekend was Saturday night driving back from the Thai mall (where we had purchased a 30lb weight set) we got a flat. So we parked the car and walked a ways before we found a tuk tuk. Justin went Sunday and got it fixed pretty easily.

I'll post again shortly with info on the trip. Hope all is well. Let us know if you have any questions!! If you don't want to write comments you can always email me (alezaberube@gmail.com)
