Ok, Ok. I know I am WAY overdue for a new blog post. Lucky for you, I am sick in bed, and so I don't have any excuses for being too busy.
There hasn't been any really exciting news lately. Wait, when was my last blog post? Oh yeah, I guess a lot HAS happened since then. Let's see if I can remember......
The American teachers at my school were invited to go on the sixth grade class trip of the school that our camp is attached to. We travelled down to this beautiful place called Sun Moon Lake. We stayed at this GORGEOUS hotel place, it was actually a bunch of these tiny cottages. Since I was the only female american teacher on the trip, I got my own tiny little cottage to myself. Probably the CUTEST place I have ever stayed at. However, when I showed the other teachers my cottage, one of them decided to run and dive onto my bed, immediately snapping it in half. SO I had to be moved to a different more rundown cottage over by the freeway. (This website hates me because it is not letting me upload any photos).
The next day we were able to go to the Aboriginal Village Theme park. That was pretty fun. It's funny because this culture doesn't like to get wet, so on the water rides, everyone was wearing ponchos except for the americans.
We also got to go to a paper factory factory, where they make paper by hand. It was a pretty neat process.
On to other news. Our camp is FINALLY almost finished. I have posted some photos to my facebook that you can check out. It's really cool because each of our classrooms has a smart board. It looks like a white board, but you hook up the projector and this other cable to your computer, and you can use the "white board" as a touch screen! It's AWESOME! We should be getting our first campers on monday. Hope that I am feeling well enough by then. Yesterday at 2am I went to the ER. I had been throwing up for 10 hours and I wasn't getting any better, I was just getting worse. Still not feeling fantastic, hence the reason I am still in bed, but looking forward to a full recovery. I will try to keep this blog up to date, and I will also try to figure out why it is not letting me upload photos. Peace!
