Today, we had our first day of student teaching!! IT WAS AMAZING! I absolutely loved teaching at this school. We first started off sorting apples...they fly us in to have us sort and deliver apples...strange, but then we went to our classes and the kids immediately fell in love with us. They are the funniest students that I have ever met. It's amazing that most of them can speak 2 to 3 different languages, not including english. Since I only hear them speaking english, it is still a shock to me when I hear them speaking multiple languages through out the day. They are fantastic kids though, I love first graders. My teacher, lady Darroch, is fantastic as well. She is so flexible and lets me do, basically, whatever I want. She is letting me take over starting tomorrow!!! Gosh, I'm never coming home. The way the school day is conducted is so different from in the states. They have more time to focus on specials and what they would like to do. I hardly see the students after 11:30.
After school was let out, I was sooooooooo exhausted. It didn't help that I was up at 2:30 a.m. and couldn't go back to bed. But we had Lady Darroch's (Vanessa) party tonight.....OH MY GOD....Vanessa lives in a mansion!!! She even invited us to stay the night over there when we go out during the week. This house is amazing...she said that she wouldn't even know if we were there. There was at least 3 stories...that I was able to explore on. Whitley, Jenna and I, took the liberty to explore on our own....apparently that is a no no in Brussels. Security is tight and they have video cameras everywhere. I wish we had known that before we creeped into some fancy room and practiced "melting" in front of the mirror walls. For those who don't know what melting is (I had no idea either), it's when you strike a pose and then casually melt into it. Apparently, showgirls do it for all their photoshoots and Whitley was trying to teach Jenna and I. Let's just say, I'm not known for my melting abilities. It didn't help when Lindley and Tracey walked in on us "melting" and scolded us for exploring on our own. Always in the dog house...If Vanessa asks me tomorrow what melting is, then I'll know for sure that she has seen her security tapes.
But overall the first day was fantastic and the party was amazing!! We definitly looked like the odd ones out though..
Ps....I apologize for any typos...the alcohol was free flowing and it's late....oops!
