same ole

so its been a long week and its hard to believe that its only the end of week 3.. it feels like so much longer.. observing the school has been fun.. the school system is so much different here, its kinda hard to be in the classroom and know that soon ill be in a school knda like this..

the children talk a lot while the teacher is talking and very few understand what the teacher is saying.. today in observation some students were talking while Mary Ellen was introducing herself and she said please listen and i had to laugh.. they obviously ignored her but at least they quieted down a little.. its just so hard to realize that im not in an american school system where the students would almost never talk that loud while a teacher is talking.. i wanna be able to put my foot down when im a teacher but im afraid it will go against everything the kids have been taught.. i dunno.. its a tiny prediciment right now that im trying to think of a creative way to fix.. maybe if they get tooannoying in class ill have them come up and read a short little poem in english..  who knows..

so next week daniel and i are going to be partners and we are going to do little activities in the classroom.. it should be interesting.. not quite sure what we are going to do yet but knowing him, he will come up with something good..

got some pictures im going to upload next.. a lot of my house.. maybe ill get a chance to sneak a picture of the bathroom.. im so used to it now but its still weird when i have to use the bathroom other than home.. im so used to my bathroom.. oh well..

i feel like my thoughts are a little scattered.. im pretty tired its just been go go go for the last few days and its starting to catch up to me.. its looking like i will have a free weekend though to catch up on the language and do some PCT (peace corp training) stuff.. wooo

ahh i finished some indonesian language stuff.. now i just gotta look and see what i wanna put up here.. i wrote a lot of phonetics under the words (maybe not exact stuff but i understand when i look at it and hopefully you will to..) hmm..

well i dont got much else.. ready for the weekend :)

love you all :)
