Update !

Everything here's great! been doing lots to set up and get ready for all the kids. making tons of signs, planning activities/skits, getting my classroom ready, etc. i'm gonna be an ESL teacher so i'll have 12 or 13 kids each day for 2 hrs. has been lots of working planning out 2 hrs of class a day, but i think it should be fun and i'm excited. and if i ever have to teach it again, it's all already planned out! but enough the anticipation adn getting ready -- i'm pumped for the kids to finally get here! they arrive from 4 this afternoon! yay! 50 in all. i'm excited to talk to parents and stuff before as well. though i'm not allowed to speak in french since i'm an ESL teacher so the kids aren't supposed to know i speak french. i'm kinda worried about that though, b/c kids apparently love to try to figure out who of the counselors speaks french. so it'll be hard to not react to anything they say in french or any french words they may say in class, at meals, wherever. and in class if they don't understand something it'll be super tempting (but hopefully not instinctive) to just say the word or directions in french. haha. i'm sure i'll manage...

hope all's well at home/china/chicago/wherever you are!
