Well it has rained almost straight for an entire week...so I really don't have any good exciting adventures to post. School is going well I have almost finished my observation periods and am prepping to take over four classes a day. The classes I will be taking over are two year 10 science classes (akin to freshman). One class is the best and brightest of the year 10's and the other is the worst behavior kids of year 10. The other two classes are senior chemistry classes. One class I have free range of the curriculum (minus four students I will be tutoring) and the other class I will be teaching organic chemistry.
Rainy days...what do you do on a soggy mess of a rainy day in Rotorua on a saturday? You go to the pub and watch rugby and have a few pints. Then watch a movie in the cinema that came out in the states three months ago!
The only good story I have from NZ is I went to a dinner at one of the guys house whom I play badminton with. It was a potluck feed so random assortments of pizza, fish and chips, Chinese food, roasted trout and all sorts of other good things too eat. I had four massive helpings of main course and two massive helpings of desert (plus several beers). I was so full I didn't want to move off the couch and kept commenting on how "stuffed" I was. It wasn't until I was laying in bed did I realize why people were acting a bit funny around me during the end of the evening. Stuffed in NZ is the same as the F word, so me saying I'm stuffed is the same as me saying I'm FU#$#% !!!!! Hope you all have a great week to come! Cheers
Hahahaha oh wow, at least you know now! :)
ReplyDeleteThe meal and beer sounds fantastic!
I cold go for a good pizza and beer right now!
Glad everything is going well for you! I can't wait to hear about your days when it isn't raining!
Oh Charlie that is a classic. I do know they use the f-word without an accent, found that out here in Ryegate with the sheep shearers that come from NZ to shear Quad five sheep. Oh well it was worth being stuffed ha ha. Luv ya
ReplyDeletethis is great Bean. the constant rain is the pits but the beer etc. sounds like a good way to slog thru. I got stuffed at a potluck once.
ReplyDeleteps. this is dad
I'm adding that to my mental "if I ever make it to NZ" list! Very funny though!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading for the rain to clear so I see more pictures! :)
