30/7: First day of work

My first day of work was rather chaotic, meeting all of the children, an unclear schedule, though they do have a schedule, it looks like this:

09:00-09:15: Prayer and sing songs

09:15-09:45: teaching

09:45-10:30: handicraft

10:30-10:45: snack and drink

10:45-11:45: play

11:45: get ready to go home

But not everyone goes home at this time, which means that there is more to the schedule, but it is kind of hard to figure out exactly. And the children start arriving from 08:00 so there is also that to take into account. Their names are so difficult and there are so many of them! I got to use the internet today, though it was a complete failure, I mean the only thing I really did was send an email to my sister, I tried to post some blogs, but I needed to verify that I am me, that is extremely hard when I only have one email address and I no longer use my Icelandic phone number! I tried for so long, but they didn’t believe me, I even got an email saying that a stranger was trying to log into my account! In the evening I asked Aika about what she wants to do when she finishes school, she said that she wanted to cook. I thought about it and asked: “Here?” She was like: “yeah,” and pointed to the kitchen. Then I asked her if she didn’t want to be a doctor or a pilot. She said maybe a pilot. Maybe I had imagined that she would have bigger dreams, or have dreams, but she doesn’t really have that much of a reason to. But she gets to go to high school, Susan, who is taking care of the children with me, never got that chance.
