Well I’m loving my new job now. It just took a little getting used to. It’s wonderful teaching in an anglophone environment. It makes me so happy- speaking English all day to everyone. I can really talk with the other teachers. What a gift to be able to understand one another perfectly!!! How I missed that. And how I love speaking to Americans- there are only a few of them (students and staff). Because yeah it’s great speaking to a British person but half the time I don’t understand what they’re saying due to the accent. I have to really concentrate to be able to tell what they say. I supervise computer club Wednesday afternoons after school and I have some great kids. We have fun. I sat down during our club after teaching them a lesson and said “I’m tired and hungry.” And this cute little American girl was like “you can have some of my snack.” It’s just the little things like that that I missed- being comfortable with people and being able to express myself perfectly without any thought beforehand. Oh how we will appreciate being home! I told Kyle we’re not allowed to complain about anything for a whole month after we get back to the US! Because we just need to be grateful, relax and let it sink in that we’re home FOR GOOD.
