I'm in a routine...

I go to bed at around 9 or 9:30 every night, and I wake up at 6... it's crazy, this never happens! like I've never felt this good before. It's crazy! I walk everywhere and I'm getting excessive everyday and I'm not eating fast food junk and other stuff so Ii just feel good. I want to keep this up when i get home! ?

The time difference is 15 hours. I taught today for the first time! I was so nervous, but it went really good! I taught arts and crafts and we made tambourine things and they loved it! Ii was super nervous cause this one kid named Kevin was really bad for Sarah, like he would hit himself on the head non-stop and run around the room and she said he climbed in a cupboard and wouldn't get out! hahaha. So I was nervous, so when he came in my class he ran to a corner and started hitting himself but a teacher came in and talked to him and I guess he was just really bad because his feelings were hurt so I had to talk to him the most and let him do things first and once I did that he was so good! He is really smart. All the little girls loved me!They wanted me to sit with them, and one time I was sitting on the ground, and white powder stuff got on my dress and the girls on either side of me started to wipe it off and so I stood up and it was all over my bum, and so one girl went and got a Kleenex and wiped it off for me. it was so cute!

I like a lot of the people in my group, they are all pretty cool. We normally hang out with Matt, Branden, Aaron, and Kayla. they are all fun! We also met this Chinese guy who always talks to me and Sarah in the lunch and dinner line. He always is so nervous to talk in English but he likes to practice. It was funny cause the second time we saw him we waved hi and he was so shocked that we remembered him! He was like "you beat my expectations that you remembered me!" it was funny. we couldn't remember his name so we named him Tony. i think he's like 21? but he looks 16.
