Sorry, but I do not have any photos to upload, but I did think I would at least share a quick blurb on my first week of teaching...
Yes. I survived week one. I think teaching is just a tiring job - period. It requires lots of pre-planning AND you have to be a performer of sorts (both of those things tend to tire me out). That said, the kids here are great and the class sizes are very reasonable (and a dream for anyone accustomed to 25-30 students per class) -- from 5 to 16 or so. Amazing compared w/ the US. AND, they are good-hearted kids. So, I think it is an ideal environment in which to perform a tough job. I teach grades 7-12 which is also a nice variety --- though, it does mean a lot more lesson plans.
We have had a ton of power outages this whole week, but when the power works, I do have air conditioning in my classroom -- I keep it set at about 80 which feels comparitively great with the fans blowing.
The staff/teachers at the school are great so far and that has been another big plus.
I suppose that is all for now.

Having just viewed the photos, I am impressed by the luxurious life style you live - James Bond on a moto...forget that silly elvis thing, get a tuxedo,and become sophisticated. Have a gator aide, shaken, not stirred. Show the dogs "Hooch" a few times (Not the ending) and have them run alongside the moto as you terrify the town. Love your leaves, UB
Hey Scott, Back to school for us as well! Great first day. A handful of kids asked about you. I will continue to check out your blog. Glad to hear you are off to a good start. I'll try and do the same! Randy
