KENTING

August 28 On Tuesday meet my co-teacher Edward, and signed my contract. The closing ceremony was on Wednesday morning and received a certificate for participation. Afterwards took the high speed rail to Kaochung and then Edward and his girlfriend Fiona drove me to Kenting. Wednesday night arrived around 7 unload the car. Soda and Andy helped me make the beds. Then we all went for Thai food. They asked if I wanted to go to the night market but I politely bow out and went back to the dorm for much needed rest. Thursday I meet the principal Mrs. Lu and then she said for me to unpack my room and set up my dorm room. At lunch time Edward came and got me and the council person Charlie, Mrs. Lu, Edward, Fiano and myself went to Caesar Park. I was the guest. After lunch I took a nap which is standard here and then finished my room. At 4:30 went to Hengchun for necessities and dinner. I will begin work tomorrow at 8:00 I have not idea what they will want me to do.

Connie, Your 8/28 blog entry was posted at 3:21 AM. Is that OUR time, or were you up WAY too late?

Our year is off to a good start. All of the changes we established last year are challenging when we try so many different things all at once, but I think we will be pleased ultimately.

We had a VERY rainy Wednesday. Today is "drizzly." I am leaving now to pick up my BIFOCALS!!!!

I'm eager to hear how your first teaching day went!
