Jet lag.... Nice to meet you

Travelling for maybe 9 whole hours isn't easy! Boy was I sleepy, all I wanted to do was sleep like nobody's business, lol, but I didn't... Instead I went by one of the teachers I'm working with now, because I was staying by her for one night, then the following night I would originally go with another teacher who said she would host me. So I did just that! But of course meeting the teacher she wanted to talk and get to know me a little, but as I said before I was sleeeepyyyy! Lol. I wasn't rude, so I put on my 'awake' face and tried to have a 'tired-less' conversation. She soon realized that I must be tired and told me it was ok if I wanted to take a shower and rest up, etc..all the things I wanted to hear from the beginning, lol. The time had finally came when I could shut my eyes and go into dreamland, but I couldn't get too comfortable because the next day she had to get to school for 8 am therefore I had to get up early, in order to go with her and see/meet the teachers (and students) I would be working with for the next 7 months. We walked to school, but gosh that day was very windy and therefore I was cold! I thought I was going to die! Lol. I couldn't feel my fingers, my toes were covered, but I couldn't feel them either and then my lips became so dry, I put on some lip balm, but that was a waste of time, lol, it did nothing, lol. When we got to the school, it was completely warm, I felt to stay there and not go back outside at all. I met some of my teachers and just other teachers in general and they were really nice and inviting, it was really nice meeting them. The students were quite shy to talk and ask questions, but nonetheless they were excited. I remember being the shy girl, not wanting to talk in my French and Spanish classes and look now I'm teaching/assisting! 😀 at least I know how they feel and would try to break them out of their shyness! That first day, that wasn't quite a first day because teaching didn't begin as yet, because there were still a few things that needed to be done, but nonetheless it was great and I was looking forward to teaching when it was official we were to begin teaching and I liked everyone so far!
