Thursday: the day that is almost Friday

School was boring in the morning, as usual. Afternoon was better, though, because six students from a third grade class came in to work on Power Point presentations. I was able to help them and actually interact with them. It was fun. Definitely a lot of work, though, since they've really had zero experience with Power Point. One boy was so sweet. And when he left, he said, "See you tomorrow!" :)

I had another little project where I put books in order. It was those giant storybooks teachers use sometimes... there's quite a few of them in the professional library area, so I got those all in order and nice and neat.

Kaye (counselor) picked me, Jenna, and Al up at 4 today at our apartments. She took us to the travel agency on base where we bought our train tickets for the weekend. We ended up having to get tickets a little different than planned, but oh well. It's still pretty cost effective. We'll be going to Trier on Saturday and coming back Sunday. Should be an enjoyable time. It's very old there--a lot of Roman things. In Idar-Oberstein (Monday trip), which is only about 15 minutes from Baumholder), there are lots of jewels and gems. Apparently there's a great market with all these jewels. Hopefully I'll make a purchase!

Kaye also took us to the PX and the post office..and my suitcase came in the mail!! Yay!! I brought one with me on the plane and had my dad mail the other. It arrived yesterday. I'm so glad to have more clothes now!

There's this stand outside the PX that sells brats, chicken sandwiches, and a couple other sandwiches... it always smells divine. We were all hungry, so we got some food. Came home, opened our boxes/suitcases, put a movie in, turned some lights off, and ate dinner. It was great to relax!

Plan to go to bed early tonight. Should be good. Just gotta get through tomorrow and then it's a three-day weekend!!

No update with the technology stuff. Hopefully will get some things worked out tomorrow. When I brought it up to my supervising teacher today, she was awfully weird about it....
