A day in the Life

A quick update so you know I'm still here!  7:00am Usually go to Mass in the chapel with up to 7 priests, followed by breakfast.  This week with the opening of classes, Fr Bernard is very busy--he is our transport to the school and orphanage, so we've only been once so far.  He picks us up between 12 & 12:30 for lunch back here.  Cora and I usually exhausted (not to mention sweaty & dirty) so shower and maybe a short nap.  Some afternoons we do go back but not till 2:30 or 3:00 when the kids are dismissed from school--this gives us time to interact at their "house".

Today I took over an English class of 2nd graders--read Where the Wild Things Are and taught a few Mother Goose rhymes plus song "open shut them"  (Laurie will get a kick out of that).  The teacher just left me there alone and I thought she'd come back in 30 min. when it was time to switch, but she NEVER came back!!  I went an hour before I gave up--geez!  She was in the "library/staff room"!!  I've learned my lesson.  Things will go differently tomorrow! haha
No pics for now--dinner time 6:30.  At 8pm we're invited every night for a little social with the Polish priests--snacks, beer, juice.
