Hello!
I know more about the teaching situation. I will be teaching Sr. One (is like 10th grade). I will be teaching 16 different 40mn classes every week. Sixteen different classes with about 60 students in each! This means I see each class only once a week, which means I need to plan only one lesson a week and give in 16 different times! This is both good and bad. I don't know how much I can teach a class that I will see only once a week, and it will be more difficult to know any of them. But it will be easier to plan, and by those last classes I will have the plan all memorized for sure.
I woke up very early today since the students rise at like 7, and they have assembly right outside my window... its very noisy. Perhaps I should plan to go to sleep much earlier.

One very important bit of info for those who may want to post a comment on my blog... I am not able to actually see my blog becuase of the walls that the school network has up, and I cannot access the comments through this posting page. Therefore, if you want to write (which I would LOVE to hear from any one often) it would be best to email me. My email should be available as an option on the site under personal profile, if not please let me know and I will decide to give it to you here.

I'm in China ya'll!! How cool is that!? I have not been able to take many pictures yet, and perhaps I should before I forget what might be interesting to you. Already things are becoming familiar like seeing a million bikes parked outside the school, 5 people crammed onto a motorbike, donkey driven carts, people walking around with baskets of everything from bamboo, sugar cane, vegitables, fruit, and kids, and street vendors with oysters, chicken parts, pigs feet, and who knows what else. Many different smells. I have not yet seen the ocean. Soon Grace will take me to the park where I can do some "official" site seeing.

I would love to hear from anyone, remember to please email!
