To stay cool, I generally go to sleep with a fan running, which incidentally produces a lot of white noise. Last night the power went out (more on that in the previous post) so my room was silent, meaning there was nothing to cover up the sound of roosters and, swear-to-god, fireworks at 5am. Between that and having had trouble falling asleep in the first place, I woke up exhausted, but I was unable to get a coffee on my way to class because the power was still out.
Class is continuing to move slowly, I think I’m going to ask tomorrow about splitting our lesson in half. The lack of sleep/coffee certainly played a role, but I felt myself becoming very impatient during today’s activities and I don’t want to continue like this. The one good thing that came of class was that we rearranged the artificial bookshelf-wall separating the resource room from the first classroom, so I can now access both without needing a new key. Then, two different people then warned me not to let the cats “popo” inside the rooms.
The power was back by the time class was over, so after a long nap, I returned to the school to work on lesson plans. I now have a week’s worth of learning objectives for two of my three classes, but I’m still not sure how to make anything engaging out of a Zoom conference. I’m getting kinda nervous about the speed at which the first day of class is arriving, but I’ll brainstorm with my dad tomorrow. I think that should be good.
My host mom deep-cleaned the house today, which hopefully means the cockroach is gone. For now.
