CR in numbers.

It is 8:23 pm Sunday night.
Tomorrow I have 12 1st-2nd grade english students. I will have to tell Jordan to sit down approximately 45 times in an hour and 15 minute class. Carlos will give me 2 hugs. Alisson will ask me if we are going to sing the doodle doo song 3 times. the answer will be yes. at least one mother with come to class...and stay. when we play a game she will shout out the answers. i cant tell her to leave. so i will give suttle spanish hints about not listening to their friends in class. the mothers wont get the hints. i will sigh 3 times and give up.
Then comes about 15 2nd through 6th graders. i will have to ask them to pronounce their names at least 4 times each. youbelka and keveling always give me trouble in the pronounciation area.
Then i will teach between 1 and 6 math students...depending on who shows up. of 6, 4 are taking the test in april. i am praying at least 2 pass.
Then i will help tutor struggling kids. i will send at least 5 students to sarita because i dont know spanish rhyming words. i will be sent math students because that i can do.
i will get home at 6pm...with luck.
i will play uno with emily...one time. if the game lasts longer than 30 minutes which it does sometimes i will start cheeting either so i win or so she does depending on my mood.
at 8pm we will eat dinner. i wont take seconds. emanuel will comment that i dont take seconds. almost 6 months into my trip...he still says it almost every night.
I will read my bible...about 3 chapters. write in my journal about 2 pages.
set my alarm for 6.01am
fall asleep at 10.05 pm.
and repeat with several variations the next day.

best part...my day is so predictable yet for some reason i am still surprised when it goes the way i envision it. basically it is a guarantee and about half my day will change sometimes before i even roll out of bed (sometimes i change the alarm to 7.01am if im feeling lazy)

anywho. lots going on. i am teaching 3 english classes with the smallest having 12 students the biggest having almost 30.
math class has about 6 weeks till the big test day. pray for them.
had an excellent visit from an ONU friend, D$ last week. i made her tutor my individual tutor person. we went zip lining friday it was fun.

anywho. not much time to write...actually i have tons of time but im tired of being on the computer...maybe ill go ask emily to play uno. :)

pura vida yall.
