Teachers' Day Sports Meet
Well, after a long break, I am back!
The second week back in Longde, our school participated in the city-wide Teachers' Day Sports Competition. There were really only two events, Tug of War and Basketball. As probably the tallest person in Longde, I was obviously recruited to be on the Longde Middle School Women's Tug of War team. The competition started on a Wednesday afternoon and lasted through Saturday afternoon with an average of one competition on each morning and afternoon. Though each competition only lasted about five minutes, I managed to miss most of my classes during those days. Oh priorities.
During the competition days, we also ate lunch and dinner together each meal at the same restaurant. Though it was pretty tiring going back and forth to the school for competitions (and being critiqued each time by all the bystanders) and eating all meals together, it was also an awesome time of getting to know many of the teachers.
One of the nights, there was also a huge gathering of students from all the schools in town for a big celebration/performance night in the downtown square. I saw a bunch of my students and they loved having their pictures taken! Such beautiful faces!!
