So basically this last week has been amazing! We are having a HUGE turnout for kids, from lunch, afterschool, if they have a spare or break, and we are getting requests to come if their teachers are sick...
we are getting so many kids after school that we're staying until about 6 before we can actually kick 'em out :) and at lunches we play sports with the boys. the boys didn't seem too interested in learning English, but playing sports with them, sure helped!!! Now the boys love us, and keep asking us to play with them.
At first they were timid and wouldn't really challenge us in sports, but we kept saying that we are tough, and now they play properly and it's awesome. They are still shocked though. I shot and got a goal, and they all went WOW and clapped, and when i headed the ball, they were all surprised... it is funny!
The whole teaching thing is amazing. The most incredible feeling is when these kids get the "I get it" look...and are trying soooo hard. These kids try so much, so hard... and are doing so well. It's amazing!!!
We are organizing a big soccer game for tuesday after school, and we have a couple lunch dates. We are also trying to get to mainland china, to a small cool town that is not touristy and full of rice fields and locals, and i'm so excited. So hopefully we can make it work.
Part of it is still a little lonely.... No one to call me everyday, or be in love with, but i'm sure that will come with time... in the meantime, i'm really enjoying myself. I enjoy the markets a lot... buying too much, tee hee....
