Oh, Panama!

Ok...so it has been quite a whirlwind here...I am not sure where to even begin this post. I now have 20 little students along with battling a sore throat...(of course that is the thing we use the most when teaching!) Sigh.

I want to tell you about today. My roommate (and dear friend) and I have been using the expression "Oh, Panama" to describe situations that occur that can't be explained. ( My friend and I in Japan did the same with "Oh, Japan"). Today, I taught half a day of school with the rest of the afternoon for meetings. Well, I soon found out that 3 of us new teachers would be taken to do some necessary things for immigration. So, 4 of us went to a local mall to get our blood taken (AIDS test). The doctor was not in so we got pictures taken instead, ate ice cream, and went back to the clinic....this time he was there. So, the 3 teachers took our turns to get the shot (me holding the hand of one during her turn) and then went back to school. I was able to work in my room for about an hour and then headed to a beauty salon with my roomie. There we enjoyed a manicure and pedicure to help get our minds off the stress of school. After that, we headed to good ol' McDonalds.

I couldn't help but laugh about my day and wonder who would ever do all of this in one day? Well, I sure did! It has been quite a day! God continues to be faithful and is teaching me a great deal. Pray for me as I continue to battle this sore throat (and stress!)

Oh, Panama!
