Almost the best day ever...

So today was one of those days where anything that happened either went terribly wrong or terribly right. I started my day by being woken by my mom on skype and being especially snappy to her since she woke me up...even though my alarm had gone off an HOUR before since I had intentions to go running which obviously didn't happen. Don't worry though, I apologized to Lynne for being snappy:) However, the night before my clock had run out of batteries so when resetting it I thought "Oh, well my computer says it's whatever time, and since I'm 7 hours behind it must be this time"...NO. After dropping my coffee directly on my shoe, for the second straight freaking day in a row might I add (I think the guy in my coffee shop thinks I'm a drug addict), I get to school an hour stinkin early because while I set my clock according to Seattle time I wasn't aware that the whole "spring forward" thing had taken place and my computer changed automatically. So, I'm at school at 7:30 in the morning, soaking wet because it was pouring the entire way, and with one brown running shoe because of the amount of coffee that it's absorbed over the past 2 days. I'm pretty sure if I just ate my shoe I would have a decent amount of a coffee fix. And to top it off, when I would've been walking to school it was sunny out. Frick.

Well, then...even though we went through a week long orientation before we started our jobs, they're making us do 2 more hours of training after school for 3 weeks and it's the same exact thing we've already gone over. So we all sat there for 2 hours today poking at our eyeballs and wishing we were being tortured by Jack Bauer rather than sitting through this thing. Not to mention, the same shoe was wet yet once again as I stepped in a puddle the size of Lake Michigan and then dropped ketchup on it. I think that eventually this training might cause all of the native teachers to revolt (that's what they call us)...and if you're picturing people standing on street corners in loincloths holding torches then you're probably pretty accurate.

Yet, God is good. And this city is pretty amazing. Had the best Korean BBQ of my life tonight. Found Sprite. I'm now the owner of a 20 lb jar of peanut butter from Costco. Found a burger joint that looks amazing, a Krispy Cream, and another Northface store...and I just started pushing buttons and all of a sudden have a million TV channels with one of them being Discovery...in English. I love my life.
