THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!

All I can picture is Nemo swimming around so excited shouting, “It’s the first day of school” over and over to his dad. 

Then on the bus ride in someone was singing Eye of the Tiger. It brought back NHS memories of grad grams, when we transposed the chorus of the song into a little something like this, “It’s the been on the paper, It’s the thrill to write, rising up to the challenge from our teachers” it was kind of perfect. The whole event made me feel like I was in the right place.

Of course Wednesday are my longest days. The class I teach is in a two class block so instead of having a group for 45 minutes I have them for 1 ½ hours. So started with Business Mgmt 2 (meaning their 12^th graders) and then Business Mgmt 1 (1 means their 11^th graders) and than back to a Business Mgmt 2. Let’s just say I’m glad I got to start and finish with the 12^th graders. There is quite the maturity difference between the two grades. The kiddos are great! I think this is going to be a lot of fun! I can’t wait to get going with the curriculum and teach them a thing or two.

After a long exciting day with the kiddos; I went over to Jo and Maya’s after school. We had a great dinner at a little place and good news… I didn’t get sick! Then a couple hours later Jo kicked my butt with and awesome workout. LESSON LEARNED: Eat awesome authentic Mexican dinner AFTER workout… not before! 

After an awesome first day I was excited to start the second but to my sunrise this morning my apartment had no gas... which means NO HOT WATER. So on day second day I have in a pony tail because I had to use the dry shampoo and took the quickest cold shower of my life this morning. Every day is a new experience here!
