Day 5

Yesterday someone commented that sleep and food deprivation are tools frequently used in brainwashing. Most people seem to get about 2-3 hours of sleep per night here, and we go 7 hours between breakfast and a light lunch.... he thinks no coincidence. Hahaha. I've still managed to get at least 6 per night so far,  and I'm running 2 or 3 miles per day to keep my sanity.

I met some of our kids today! It was amazing and awful. They trickled in for like 40 minutes and the roster was COMPLETELY different than yesterday's. One girl was coming straight from work (at 8 am) and another has two kids at home. Almost no one came with a pencil or notebook of any kind whatsoever. 

However, they were well behaved and seemed interested in us... for now. Our sessions today were on classroom management and getting kids invested in learning... we'll see. I hope I can pull that off. Ugh. I also turned in my first two lesson plans today and am awaiting feedback tomorrow.

We get to sleep in tomorrow- don't have to be anywhere until 8! woooo! haha and then we have the weekend off. I want to get out of here for a bit but I also want to get ahead on some work, so I don't knoooowwww.

Happy 4th!
