1/20/2003

It's strange how happiness and catharsis are such nice bedfellows.

My Portuguese was pretty great today. But tomorrow I start to teach, so we'll see exactly how good it is.

Today was the opening of the school year. I arrived at school at 8AM like usual, and we waited around for 45 minutes doing nothing, like usual. At around 9, the school director came around and told us to round everyone up.

The school was teeming with students, but it didn't seem like more than a couple hundred. Well, wherever they were hiding, they managed to fit about 1000 kids in and around the school, all trying to get into the gym at the same time.

Peace
