Jet lag has arrived
I have never felt as tired as I did yesterday. I barely got any sleep on saturday night, and was on the bus to school at 7 a.m. It was hot and overwhelming. At one point at school I was sure I was going to be sick, either from the heat, lack of water or food, I came home on the 1 p.m bus, stayed awake long enough to have a snack and then napped until 5:30 pm. So much to do in two days time, I literally have words bursting out of me that I want to share about all I am experiencing, but they will have to wait for the weekend. The two most interesting things about yesterday. 1. My school was an old palace built to "jail" a member of the royal family who had gotten sticky fingers with the royal funds. 2. I am teaching year 2, which I was just told yesterday is equivalent to 1st grade back in the states, get it: their second year in school, boy did I feel silly when I learned that. Although it is good, cause I have done my most work in first grade. Ok I am going to eat a big breakfast, so I am energized and ready for a big day.

I saw your pictures; there's a washing machine in the kitchen right? Your place looks great. Are you planning to visit neighboring countries during your break? I've heard Bahrain and Dubai are pretty awesome places to visit.
