Lunch, Party, Sleep Over, and Mid Semester Visits

Today I decided to not go into town with the rest of the group. Because everyone else went into town the cook didn't make lunch so i decided to go eat lunch with the children. I was unsure of how to go about this so I headed up to their classroom and just walked with them down to lunch. Upon arriving down there I found that each kid had a tray set out for them. I thought to myself great how am I going to pull this off? There where big bowls with rice in them and looking around I found some smaller bowls. So I snatched up a bowl and a spoon (yeah they eat with spoons while we eat with chopsticks so unfair) and helped myself. A teacher was watching me and handed me a tray with lunch on it. This was greatly Apperiated! On the plate was some meat looking stuff then sorta flat yellow noodle sorta looking things and some vegetables. Since I have sworn off vegetables that was an easy chose not to choose. I did eat a bite of the noodle looking stuff but it was gross. The meat was not half bad I probably wouldn't eat it if I had any other option but since it was my only option i ate it and a whole lot of rice.

Last night we had the funnest party it was Colins Birthday so we threw him a surprise party. I dont know why but 80's music seems to be our favortie so of course we had it bumping in the background, and I made this delicious cake. The asians' where telling me it was good and one even said I would have to teach her. How do you explain cake mix to them? but we also played lots of games like limbo and jump over the bar i got like 4th on this out of 13 of us and I'm probably the second to shortest:). We then played musical chairs I was the DJ but it was fun to watch them play. Pretty much that was the party but it was alot of FUN!!

After the party we all decided to go sleep on the basketball court. It has been really cold in our dorms lately so everyone was worried about it being cold outside. But everyone said that they slept better outside then they did in their rooms I thought it was funny. I also counted the stars last night and their was a grand total of 18.

Next week in mid semester visits i'm sorta nervous but excited at the same time because Jared will be coming in on Tuesday night (after we are done teaching) and will leave Thursday morning (before we teach) and we dont teach on Wednesdays so he wont watch us teach :) though he might come watch us teach the preschoolers :(
