Day 7- Information Overload…and then shopping




The school is great.  I will not expand on all the business, but will say- I think I am going to like teaching in this environment. If the kids are anything like the staff- it will definitely be a positive experience. I am sure there will be some glitches and frustrations (is internet and humidity), but the international educational arena is so new to me, that I will constantly be learning.  Who wouldn’t like that challenge? 

More shopping...more eating…more rain (right now I am enjoying the rain because it seems to stop anytime I have to walk some where and the sounds are so soothing); I have been told, it will get old and I am sure they are right.   Guess where I get to shop tomorrow???  School supply store!  For those of you who know me well, this is a favorite of mine.  Shelly, Connie, Kimberly and Tamera can tell you- if I was ever in a bad mood at school, all they would have to do is open a cabinet and say I could shop and I would be happy.  It is the little things…

Reflections:
1.     One does not have to have much to be happy;  these citizens are graceful, helpful and always smiling.
2.     Television gives a person such narrow view of the world.  This place is nothing like I expected.
3.     It does not matter how old a person is or how competent; starting over is difficult.
4.     A fluffy pillow is something to look forward (yes, I bought a new one)  So many times, we do not appreciate the things we have until they are taken way.  It will always be those little things that make a life memorable, a day enjoyable and yet we are constantly waiting for the next big thing.
