12 more weeks of solid, no holiday, teaching, starting tomorrow morning. And then it is goodbye to many that I have grown to love over this year that we have spent living, and teaching at the EV.

Here is what your day might look like at the EV...

Hit snooze a few times, Wake up, try to open eyes, climb down from top bunk, try not to step on Sarah's hand laying on the last step of the ladder. Find Air conditioner control turn temp UP!
8 girls, one bathroom... ya, we've got this down! or so we thought, until this morning. Get ready for day, Go to the living room (14 of us share), get a cup, if you can find one with your name on it. Go to trash room where refrigerator is, Grab something out before it bites you. Look at your cell phone "yikes! One more minuet, and I'm late!"




Making pizza


Meeting in Airport, hope no one is carrying drugs today, pray (we need it!), make sure first class room is set up, kids come in, 20 more than signed up (but that is OK), pick up your team, "Ah! How did I get the team with 16 boys?" Be happy! Because we are the Happy School Teachers, right? Even though we have taught the class 1000 times act like it is your first day every day, It is for the kids.

Say good bye to kids, sign autographs, give high fives, Go back to the airport for another meeting, download.

After school, meet with Taiwanese friends, tutor, shop for groceries, wave at every kid that looks like they are in the 5th grade, you've seen about 6000 and they all remember you, you think every kid looks familiar, but your aren't sure. Make dinner in living room, wait your turn for the one electric burner, flip the breaker back on because someone decided to use the hot water at the same time, take 10 minuets to throw away your trash, is this general garbage, general plastic, general paper, etc? Stay up way to late debating and talking in the living room, tease Teresa for brushing her teeth for an hour, climb back into bed, eves drop on the others still awake in girls dorm, you can't help it really, the walls are paper thin, read Bible/do devotions, make sure alarm is set for next morning. Go to sleep.

And there you have it. Though there are variations... this is just a taste of EV dorm life. You gotta love it!
