The first day was kind of a whirlwind and before you knew it the day was over. The whole week was kind of a blur. My week was spent going over expectations and rules with the students. I had an average one to two classes a day. I spent time going over what we wold be doing for the year and rules and expectations. I did have 5th grade twice this week so I had to come up with an activity with them without any supplies or materials. I ended up doing the cup game with my 5th grade students. Now I had never done it before but I learned it in about 20 minutes. We actually had a really good time being silly and learning something new.
On to more personal stuff that has happened. Some of you might know that I lot my phone in a taxi last week. I was coming home from the market on Saturday and I was getting change out of my pocket and it must have fallen out. The worst part is that it wasn't even my phone. I was borrowing this iPhone 3 from a new friend. I feel absolutely awful and I am going to replace it for them. On the up side our building manager Saji took me to Zain the cell phone company and got me a new phone and plan. I now have a new iPhone 5 with 4g LTE and its awesome. Now here comes the irony to the story. After getting my new phone I decided to call my old number. So the taxi driver answered and told me he would return it that night. Yay!!! Just kidding he never returned the phone. Womp wannnn!!!!
Tuesday night we don't to grocery store and found this great teacher supply store hat has some awesome stuff. My only frustration is that our drivers live in our building which is nice, but when we go shopping they go shopping as well, and as the case Tuesday night we were supposed to be picked p at 8:30 because it was a school night and they were late and we did not et home till after 9. :-(
The rest of this week has been really great Friday night we had our 2nd potluck in our building and it was wonderful and the food was great. Also on Friday during the day we had our first ok club meeting which will be a lot of fun, I am really looking forward to it. Today we went to Salmiya to the city center and it was by far one of the best places for shopping we have been so far.
Tonight I made homemade Alfredo and it was delicious
So I have been here a month already and I can't believe it. Time flies when your having fun. I am really enjoying my time in Kuwait. As I have told many people the honeymoon is phase is over and personalities are coming out and everyone is starting to find their niche. My mom recently had surgery and I wish I was there to help her but I know that she is happy I am here.
I am still adjusting to life in Kuwait and there are days that are overwhelming but each day is an adventure and I am just waiting for the next adventure.
