It's just after 7pm and Sarah and I are sitting on the roof of our apartment building enjoying the peaceful calm that comes over the city at ifta. It's a beautiful thing.
The most important thing though, is that we survived our first day of teaching!!! I was quite nervous and hardly slept (althought that was partly due to the louder than usual street life last night) BUT everything turned out great! I did sweat through my shirt within the first half hour of being at school...but that's beside the point :)
Coming into this year I was a bit nervous to teach high school (partly because I look like I'm their age). However, after today, I'm pretty sure those classes are going to be my favorites. I was talking with Jodi (my principal) today after school and she told me that a number of my high schoolers sought her out to say thank you for hiring me! That pretty much made my day!!! My 7th graders are 7th graders and my 6th graders are pistols...I'll need lots of prayer for that situation. When I tell them to stop talking and pay attention they say "okay" and then continue talking to their friends! AHHHH! But, from what I've heard they are that way for every teacher.
Tonight Sarah and I are going to try to relax and get things prepared for tomorrow...yeah for homework ;)
