I am going to try to start writing in this again. There are so many funny things that have been happening to me and I want to try to record some of them and share them with all of you, and also I am going to eat curry for 365 days and blog about that and see if I can get a book deal out of it. Just kidding…
So Halloween was two weeks ago and the kids at my school were all excited. The American assistants were free for one week to prepare a haunted house in the basement of the abandoned boarding school and it was super scary! We made about 882 students scream like girls, 756 grip each other in fear, 569 laugh, 367 call for their momma, 112 refuse to continue, 87 refuse to enter at all, 7 hit/push/swing at an assistant in costume and 1 cry. It was like the greatest moment of my teaching history when I saw some of the boys who play football clinging to each other and shrieking. No really. I got extreme pleasure out of scaring the living crap out of my students. I didn’t even feel guilty about the girl who cried. Here are some pictures:
High points:
- chasing students down a dark hallway with a locked door at the end
- hiding behind curtains
- eating lots of Halloween candy
- fame
- taking a cat nap every day
- going to the Halloween store and spending other peoples money
- fog machines and strobe lights
Low points:
- clean up
- older students pillaging the candy box
- working on the weekend
- running into a wall in the dark and spraining my thumb
- fog machines and strobe lights
So, all in all, I must say that Halloween at Villalkor was a success. The kids talked about it for a whole week, which is like a record since they usually don’t remember anything for longer than a few minutes, maybe an hour. I’m like, kind of a big deal at the school now. B… maybe C list celebrity status over there. Thanks for reading and I’ll update soon! Mwah hah hah haaaaa!
