Today I spent some more time with the spanish assistant who just moved in yesterday. She comes from Mexico and is really the sweetest girl around. I've enjoyed spending time with her and showing her around a bit here in Barentin. She's also taught me a few words in Spanish! I'm hoping to speak Spanish really well by the time I get back to the states. ;) That would make me very happy.
I ran back and forth a little bit between the highschool and the middle school since I will be sharing my time with them. I'm supposed to work 9 hours here at the highschool and only 3 hours at the middle school. (Which made my directing teacher at the middle school sad.) Anyway, I've been coordinating with them to figure out what my schedule and my hours will be. Until then, I'll just be doing rotations through classes observing how things are run here. On Monday afternoon I'll be at the middle school to observe four different English classes.
Then, we have the first day meeting in Rouen of all the assistants in the region. That is on October 1st. At this meeting, we will be given a little more help with the paperwork involved in moving here. It should be a good day, because we can finally sign our work papers and apply for an advance on our salaries.
Tomorrow, I'll finish talking to my director about my work schedule. Then, I'll go to the bank with the Spanish assistant to help her set up an account and show her around Barentin. In the same place as the bank, there is the city hall and the boulangerie, which she wants to see.
On Saturday, one of the English teachers has invited me to her house for lunch and to see Dieppe, which is a costal town! I'm excited for that since she is very nice and I'll get to meet her family and another English assistant from the US.
