Week Two has Come and Gone









So week two has come and gone now. It is hard to believe that two weeks of school have come and gone so fast, even harder for me to believe that I have been in the country for over a month. This week was a rough week for me since I was sick for most the week. However after my trip to the hospital and getting antibiotics, I am feeling much better. I end the week at school with a pretty good day.
The weekend started with coming back to the hotel, going for a swimming and playing some banana grams and Uno. It was a great start to the weekend. People also end up getting their passports back and our log into the ADEC system (which I don’t know where I put mine).

My Friday was started with a great breakfast and then working on my lesson plans for this coming week. A group of us then decided that we were heading into Abu Dhabi. So again off to the city for the day, this time I got the joy of driving to the city. Which wasn’t bad, but in the city I hate. We head to Emirates Palace, where I can finally be seen in my Abaya. We walked around looking at the beautiful art work there until we decided it was time to eat. After that to Marina Mall, haven’t been there in forever, but I am glad that we went. I was lucky enough to run into one of my fellow teachers that was moved to Al Mirfa. We were at the mall for a while, but man I learned never to head to the mall on a Friday, it was crazy. After so insane time at the Carrefour we then headed back to MZayed.
Today started with a trip t town to work out my bank stuff, which I think I did. Then off to the Co-op so that we could get some shopping done. Other then that I spent the day at my computer working on my lesson plans. So now I am off to finish up a few things and then going to play some Lego Harry Potter and head to bed.
