1ST WEEK OF SCHOOL IS OVER...

I didn't start til Tue so I worked today but normally I'll have Fri off. That's good! I'm exhausted just testing and trying to move students around to get them in the correct classes for tutoring. A few got lost and I had to track them down. Switching one student's class is like watching dominoes. One class change requires 10 more!

I feel sorry for the refugees. One family had their father and 3 siblings killed in their country's war and the rest moved from country to country til they arrived here and then the mother dies and the older sibling is trying to raise her 4 plus 8 of her siblings! They have nothing. I feel so sorry for them and so blessed to be where I am and have what I need. I'm doing all I can to ease their entry into school but they face an uphill battle just to survive.

In other news, I play my 2nd r-ball match tonight. I won my 1st on Wed and have another Sat at 2pm. We'll see.....
