So, the sign above says: Wear your helmet: Its safe, and you'll look hotter too
The other one: discipline and spirit: the keys to success
So, I did my first lot of actual teaching today. So far, I have only been observing and not doing
any actual teaching. I taught the English class but I had to use Indonesian to explain everything to the students. I feel like I did pretty well. My teachers only advice was that I didn't go for long enough. But that is an organisational issue, not a language issue, so I can take that one in my stride. Tomorrow I do some more teaching, and I am feeling rather confident and competent. Feeling really happy and positive.
Ari is coming over soon and we are going out to look @ electronics, might get some speakers for my ipod finally. Got a fridge and a mini stove so I can cook and avoid getting sick again. Made a new friend, who has invited me to maybe go back to his village in Flores. Things are looking up! Heaps of activities on the weekend: theres gonna be a film festival, Im gonna get interviewed for local radio, and then me, Ari, Nodu and Christina are going to Borobodur temple if all goes to plan.
p.s. if you read my blog, please comment! :-)
Yay! Lot's of good things to look forward to! I'm so jealous of you going to Borobodur, it's so beautiful! I hope all goes to plan, can't wait to see the photos :)
ReplyDeleteHey. turns out that Borobodur is going to be shut on the weekend, following the eruption of Merapi. And we have already paid for the car too!! I guess we will go to the beach or use the car to explore somewhere else in Jogja. Definately going to Borobodur sometime soon though!!
