First official day of classes

Today, we had a big hour of worship as a base - very cool.  This happens each monday morning and it really is quite uniting.  We all then headed to class - Dustin his first ministry day as SOP and I to my testing.  We spent all day testing students - it took quite awhile putting them in their classes but we figured it out and turns out I will be teaching the advanced level - higher than I thought but it will be quite fun.  I will have 8 students - a few less then suspected but we ended up making more levels then we originally thought since the students were so spread apart in their English language.  

This evening I was invited to a students' room to have Thai noodles - hot and spicy but great.  She also made me coffee the camping way - a filter, some grinds, and hot water sifted through...good stuff.  We kind of have to live a bit ghetto - firstly, because we want to save money but also, there's really not point in buying like a coffee maker etc for only 3/6 months, depending on how long students' stay.  
Anyways, I've been distracting enough - its hilarious to be around people from totally different places - well, these guys aren't from 'all' over but two people from the UK, three from the US and nelson and us makes up for a funny crowd.
