WE CAN'T SLEEP!

It's about 3am here and the jet lag is CRAZY! Tirhza and I tried staying up and keeping ourselves busy, but our bodies weren't agreeing. We ended up taking a nap at 5 in the afternoon, because back home it was 5 in the morning. We woke up around midnight here and so did Harris (our other American roommate). Since we all can't sleep we ended up watching some Netflix (THANK GOD FOR VPN and for the new release of Orange is the New Black). We are binge watching it.

So on our first day we had to run lots of errands. We had to stop by the police station to let them know we are her but we weren't able to talk to them because we needed our landlord to show them a contract or something. But we walked around and got to know our area. We went to go see the school that we will be working in and gave our security guard a new American name, since he forgot the one he was given before. We named him Joe!

The school is AMAZING. As soon as you walk in you see the children's and teacher's pictures displayed. You walk down the hallways were there are a couple classrooms and cubbies storage in the hallway. We met some children that are there to see the school to see if they want to enroll their children there. We also met a little girl and her father who has already enrolled her for September. They are so cute! I really am so excited to meet the kids and get to know all of them. We looked at all the artwork displayed throughout the school and all the classrooms and they are so developed! After we explored our new school we walked to the mall to get some supplies for the house. We found a Starbucks! The flavors of course we a little different but having a piece of home felt nice. After our trip to the mall Abby's (our Chinese roommate) boyfriend picked us up and we went back home to "sleep".
