Another Sunday at Work!

Today seemed to last forever! I was so tired when I came home on Saturday, that I worked on my lesson plan for today, and went to bed at about 7pm. I got up around 4:30am and finished what I didn't the night before. Then at around 6am I decided to start my day. I had hot water that came within 2 minutes!! How could things be any better than a day that starts with hot water and good conversation? Of course I felt it necessary to test the combined theory of water being wet, smooth surfaces being slippery when wet, and that the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" is actually a list that one should attempt to mark off the greatest number of parts that are injured. It was a great experiment, but I think I should find shower slippers to keep it from happening again. If I had been 2 or 3 cm closer to the faucet, I would have made it into the facial features of the song!!

Yesterday was sooo dusty! It was like a fog of sand blocking out the sun, and so thick that one could taste it. Today it was wet! I wonder how much change this weather will take. I spent my lunch break today at the Residency Office. I was told it was going to take half an hour, but one hour later, I was still sitting there waiting to finish. I didn't get my card, but I think all the paperwork is done. They took my name, my father's name, my nickname (for which they used my last name), my religion, and what languages I speak. They also took the fingerprints of my two index fingers and my thumbs. Then I just waited and waited. I don't know if there is anything left for me to do, but I am sure they will tell me just after it needs to be done.

In class we watched Tom and Jerry. It was about the Declaration of Independence. The students are really, really low level. The other teacher greatly overestimated their ability to understand English. I must find much easier writings and such to give them. I am thinking about having them write an autobiography using multiple mediums. This would give them the chance to be creative, and use the vocabulary they have been learning. They could use things about themselves, body parts, colors, family, and things such as that. I am not sure how to get making phone calls and leaving messages in there, but I will try to think of something.
