first had a doctors appointment in the morning that was scheduled by my school. it's needed for social security/immigration stuff. thought it would be for a standard blood pressure, weight, ear/eye/throat check-up, but all that really happened was i took off my shirt so the doctor could take a picture of my chest. okay, it was more like an x-ray. chest x-rays are required because we americans don't get shots for tuberculosis, and the last thing they want is us giving people consumption. again.

next i went around and introduced myself to all my schools. the teachers were all nice enough, but i was surprised to learn that most of the ones i'm going to be working with don't speak english. huh. i should probably hurry up with that learning of french thing.

some of the teachers wanted me to introduce myself to their classes. i wasn't ready for that part at all. but i said okay, and then stood up there in front of everyone and said hello and and counted to ten with the class, and some of them i asked really simple questions like "what's your name?" and i spoke ver-y dis-tinct-ly. these kids, they are super cute. i'm just not used to being around kids, and i don't realize that they are these little cute humans and here they speak french really fast and excitedly. the only thing cuter then the really cute kids, is the ugly kids. yes, the ugly kids are the cutest kids of them all.
