Hmm, hmm...

So today was my first day of "work." I got in touch with the head of the English Department yesterday (finally) and he knew nothing about me. I was like WTF. He told me to come in anyway this morning, so I did, and I met the head of the Bilingualism department, which is apparently who I needed to be talking to in the first place. Her name is Trinidad (cute), and she completely set me up with my sweet schedule and showed me around the school. Things that are already better about this school year:

1) I'm only working at one school, instead of two.
2) The school is a 10 minute walk away from my apartment instead of a 10 minute metro ride, then 45 minute bus, then 10 minute walk away.
3) My schedule doesn't change every week.
4) THE BEST: I'm working in the vocational school, not really the high school, so all my students will be above age 18 (whoo-hoo, no effing teenagers!!). Also, half my hours at the school are also just one-on-one classes with the teachers themselves. Trini is the only teacher who speaks English well, and all the others are just learning it now, so they need serious help.

I can't tell you how much I'm loving this situation.

Also, Monday we have an orientation, so I'll be getting to meet all the other people in the program, yay.

In other news, I have a big bed this year! It's soooo nice. Everything's coming up Milhouse.
