Feelin' the strain, a breath of fresh air and Party night!

So far I've worked 8 days without a break. Today will be the ninth and I still have Monday and Tuesday to work. I am starting to feel the strain though, and my three days off (I did a shift swap last week) cannot come soon enough. After my "crazy gang" Kinders yesterday, I felt about 90. They have so much energy, and I guess don't have to work 12 day weeks.

Jennifer (one of our new American teachers) started work on Friday and because of Evan's sickness was asked to do overtime. Which she did. She's like a breath of fresh air, and after just four guys for a month it certainly is nice to have a female around. You also have to consider that the previous female teachers we had (Erika and Beth) were very distant and wouldn't socialise with us Gaijin guys. Jen is like the anti-Erika. Also I met her flatmate, Suzette at the station on Friday. She too is American, but from the other side of the country and his half Portuguese. She too is very nice and it looks like out school has some good teachers at last.

Tonight is Party night at our appartment. I hope everyone has a good time, although Evan is restricted to tea because of his antibiotics. I will fill you in on what happened later in the week!!!
