First week of work! (Thursday 5/3/10)

So today was my 3rd full day of work and it was definitely a lot less boring than the first two days. I got to interact with all of the kids and chat with them for a while. Some of them i'm a little bit afraid of still, but for the most part they all are really nice to me. They think i have a really weird accent and they all could tell I was american right away. I also did wake up calls and one kid told me he didn't like me because I woke him up this morning, and then when I told another kid what my name was he told me he didn't like me because that was his mom's name. Ouch. The only thing that really bugged me today was that the police called today about one of the kids and apparently he beat up and mugged someone last night. It seemed as though no one even thought twice about it or even cared that he was out doing that last night, it was like no big deal. I'm not sure how much I believe in providing food and shelter for someone who beats people up and steals all their money. But oh well I guess. Anyways, tonight we are going out on the town and then tomorrow we are going to go shopping and then heading north to the beach to SURF!! Pray for me!
