Whew, it’s been a busy few days…haven’t blogged in awhile. Finally met some new teachers that I’ll be working with for the upcoming school year (Sept. 5). They are a great group of folks with so many different life experiences. For example, I met several young women who have been teaching at international schools in Thailand and one in Beijing, China. Then there’s a couple, from Alaska. They both taught together in Managua, Nicaragua and have two young kids. Then there is the new art teacher. He is Belgian, but has been teaching in International Schools in Africa for awhile. He’s married to a Tanzanian and she will come to Ecuador in a few months and hope to find a job in Hotel/Restaurant management. Then there’s two more young women who’ve been teaching for awhile in the US and are embarking on their first overseas adventure. It’s a fun group of people.
I was lucky to have my apartment fully furnished, (thanks to my contacts with Ann J and her wonderful parents). But lots of folks have been having to go out and buy everything to furnish their places with limited Spanish. That’s really hard.
Let’s see what else is new…I’ve got just a few more free days before we start orientation on Thursday.
