First day of student teaching down - 20 something more to go!

I had no idea that a morning could pass so slowly. I actually found myself comparing the classroom to work, and deciding, suprisingly, that time actually seems to go faster in party land. Which is funny, because when I first started at my job, I couldn't believe how slowly time went by. Perhaps it's some sort of "being in a new place/uncomfortable/still being trained/no personal routine/no frame of reference" syndrome. I found myself with a tremendous headache at the end of the day, but, at the same time, I really liked being in the classroom. Kids are really... strange. And cool. And challenging. And sometimes, they're pretty hilarious. Half the time I just look at them and wonder what the hell they're thinking. And I try not to laugh at them, but they're so funny, with their huge feet and clumsy way of moving around. It's nice not to be the only awkward one :-D.

Tonight I went to see the Skeleton Key with Kirstin and some boys from London who are staying here to teach a soccer camp for the summer. The movie was really funny - I think it was supposed to be serious and scary (the latter of which it was, for me, at least), but there was also a lot of hilarity and cheesiness that ensued. My favorite line: "Looks like you broke my legs". Hahaha. The rest of the night was a flop - everywhere we went was dead. At least I figured out that I'm really not as into British boys as I imagined I would be - a very valuable lesson, indeed.

In other news... It's 2 AM and I'm wide awake with nothing to do. Hurrumph.
