End Week 1 of classes

Thanks to everyone for the encouraging and supportive words. I wish I had the energy to give you a more full accounting of my first week as a fulltime computer teacher. I am up at 6am and leave the house at 7:30 to arrive between 8:15 and 8:30 for my first class which starts at 9am. I have one hour blocks of class from 9am to 6pm with a one hour break for lunch, five and a half days a week. You'll note the timestamp on this post. I need to be getting to sleep because 6am comes pretty early, as most of you readers know. I don't pretend to be special. Lots of people get up at 6am, or earlier. I digress. It has been a pretty boring week because I have to administer pre-tests to all the kids except for my Kindergarten students because they can't read. They have been a joy. They are currently playing a educational software program to learn how to use the mouse. They are incredibly fast learners and so enthusiastic and so exhausting!! I'll try and write a more detailed account at some point in the not too distant future but for now I will sum up. This has been a transformative week in my ministry here in Bolivia and while it has been a little boring and yet overwhelming I am looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.
