catching up...

Well, I'm not sure what to write about-there are so many things: cooking; driving; market and teaching. school started last week. the new high school is still in the process of being constructed so the labs, swimming pool and other extras are not finished. the basketball court was finally completed on friday. henry took his ball on friday to play and at some point the ball accidentally went into the very fast himalayan river next to the school. emma and henry adjusted well during their first week. they both wore their bhutanese uniform of goh and kira. we go to our neighbors each morning to make sure the uniforms are put on properly. we have got the goh down pretty well but the kira is very difficult to get "perfect" as expected at morning assembly. the students are very respectful and i get many "good morning madam" throughout the day-even after lunch. the first day was funny since no one knew where my schedule was. eventually, i met each class and by tuesday i had my schedule set-until thursday when they decided to switch me to biology. so, today i start my class 11 and class 12 biology classes in addition to class 10 and class 11 english. in bhutan, the teachers go from class to class and the students stay in the same room for the entire day-except for tea break and lunch.

well, that's the catch up on school and i must run to get ready for today's classes. more later about life in general.
