Yesterday was a busy day. I went to the school again yesterday morning and talked to more of the teachers there. We started talking a little about some English words. Then last night, Graciela had a planning meeting for a Rotary Club project, and I went with her. I met another American that is finishing a 10-month exchange through the Rotary Youth program. It was interesting to here about her work. It was a late night (for me), as we got back around 12:00.
This morning I had technology problems...again. Tuesday morning, my alarm didn't ring on my iPod. This morning, it rang and I got up with it, but then came to realize that when I had synced my iPod with my computer, the computer had changed the time back to Texas time...so I was an hour late getting up. Cheryl and Pam from my district technology department are helping me fix that problem. Thank you!!!
I made it to the school, and I had a class of 5 teachers/students from the school (the students were off--staff development day) that I worked with on basic English. We worked on greetings, introductions, and saying goodbye. It was fun to hear them asking each other, "What's up?" :)
I need suggestions...what is an American or Texan food that I should make for my hosts to try? From what my students told me, gravy is one (no, I won't make JUST gravy, and you won't be able to make snowmen from it, either. HA!) I appreciate your comments!
Another note...I have video chat set up through AIM (thanks to the assistance of my cousin Cheryl!). It is the same as my home email address, so feel free to IM me if you see me online.
I vote for Chicken Fried Steak. Maybe make some Banditos.... lol...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad about no snowman gravy. Daddy recommended chicken fried steak (which of course would have to be served with mashed potatoes). Too bad we can't send you some Branding Iron!
