Interactions and Opening Ceremonies

From Justin: Monday morning was the opening ceremony for the English classes. The college president and vice president gave speeches. Then Mr. Trainer adressed everyone and expressed our gratitude for the opportunity to come and teach.

We all plowed through our first day of teaching and, after feeling inadequate, have begun to adjust and plan for tomorrow and the coming weeks. Eric and I have a class filled with people who teach English on the college level! Time to step it up.

We've already met several friends! In this picture, Brian, Sherry, and Katy talk with Salina and Sailing. Many other students are already eager to spend time with us.

I have a student in my class who is very friendly. His self-appointed English name (which he had long before I came) is "Michael Scofield" because he loves Prison Break. Anyway, he is getting together with me and Eric to shoot some hoops tomorrow (Tuesday). He lives in the same dorm that we do along with many of our students, so we should be able to spend a lot of time together.
