Lucys been let loose
Hello,
Well this week has been quite eventful!
Monday: was average day at school, was really sunny i spent day playing foot ball, vollyball and skipping it almost killed me in this heat! Monday went for coffee after work and then came home and chatted with Carol (brazil sister) till about 10 then went to bed.
Tuesday: Went to school the kids were awful all day day totally disrespectful to the teachers and there were loads of fights etc it so fustrating not be able to say much or understand what there saying all the time it really got to me when Gabi got there i walked out the class and we went for a chat i burst into tears this is not why im here! After the meeting on friday with the coordinators i was really excited it sounded like things were going to really improve and we would be supporting more than we were! I was so mad, then after school we went to our portuguese lesson that went really well went shopping for some food with the lads and went home hopeing tomorrow would get better!
Wednesday: I was put with a different group i had prepared a lesson for them so i got on with that and the class were as good as gold! In the afternoon i did the same lesson agen with another class and agen good as gold so all in all was very happy with how the day went and it just proved to me that the reason the children were misbehaving was sheer boredom! Went ans got poictures put on to cd to send and had a coffee with Nicola! Shes really kool!
Thursday: I was with the same teacher in the morning doing art for about an hour but then Attiq and I started to paint the wall in the main room and i stared to draw on the walls we have had some ideas to brighten the place up so just started to do it and the coordinator was thrilled so were going to do that tomorrow too. Attiq came round to mine after work we made a cd to paint to ENGLISH SONGS!!! We also started to amke a dance up for next week for the kids to show about buulying its really good wre gonna teach the kids dance and expression through dance then which should be really kool and im going to do some singing with them too!
Friday:Attiq had told me which bus to catch so i wouldn't have to catch two its just a small walk up the hill and i knew where to get off so i got up late and got on the bus got off where the bus driver told me as he had to get in different lane and started walking up hill! The bus Attiq drops him off at bottom of small hill not huge need walking boots and pick to get up hill! After conquering that mountain i then had to walk up small hill it took me half hour i was about dead at top plus it was raining and my umbrella kept breaking! Ive decided i have two chioces: 1 catch two buses early or 2 take oxygen tank with you! Painted all day the kids are so excited about it everyytime they come in the room there telling us its beautiful and clean and what are we doing next its really giving them something to focus on now aswell! We really wanted to go in over the wkend too but its not safe for us to be in the area over the ewknd! I saw a drug run on Wednesday too its so interesting to watch if you go to the top of the park you can see all the watchers then they stand up one by one to show positon of runner. then you see a car pull off its very kool!
Today is saturday and im up late didnt go out with the guys wanted a bit of me time starting to miss home a bit cant believe i've been away for a month! Going to cinema in a bit...really kool all american films with portuguese subtitles so we learn whilst watching! Then chillin at Nic with a dvd seriously bad weather so cnt really do much else!
Tomorrow im meeting the hole family and going to soem family memebers house so more kisses more portuguese and more Rice and beens! YAY!!!

When i got to the bus stop on Thursday there was a really cute lad on the other side of the road so i was trying to be all kool walking along but my umbrella got caught in bush next to bus stop and about knocked myself out trying to get it out (literally pulled it so hard it banged me in face and i fell backwards) I ca laugh about it now!
