Oh man, this is nice. I don’t have to pack up my computer and go to the school in order to be connected to you, my wonderful readers. And I guess I no longer have an excuse for not updating the blog daily :) Sorry about that. On Wednesday, I just chilled in my apartment watching movies and playing games. The only thing I was going to tell about was Tue. night/Wed. morning.
53 students arrived from Vietnam and I got up at midnight with Yvonne to help check them in. We had to take their money and passports since their dorm rooms don’t have locks. Yvonne and I were talking earlier that night and she thought it would take a long time. So I volunteered to help. I ended up counting money. Not too hard of a job. Oh, and tuition is $1000 US per student per semester (I reported that incorrectly previously).
I’m impressed by these students who come to this school. Go to a new country for 3 years of high school. I don’t think I could have done that. It’s great because they are getting education which can get them out of the no-job situation at their homes. And they go to school half the year then work the other half to pay for their schooling. It’s a neat setup.
And I need to thank my wonderful family. I received 2 packages on Tuesday. I was excited! It was even better to open them and discover they sent Oreos and graham crackers. *happy sigh* The grahams didn’t travel so well – they’re mostly small bits. But I appreciate the thought! I also received a b-day card that made me smile. It’s a singing one and it’s Hoops and Yoyo, who crack me up. Click here to go to their website. I usually send their e-cards through Hallmark.com.
MAIL! 2 packages, a b-day card, and a postcard from Italy.
