Elloooo, the story continues yet again!!!
Leaving straighttt off from the last blog, it was friday, last day of school for week one which is SHOW DAY! At the end of each week the teachers have to create a story for the kids with things that they liked... so week one consisted of (try and follow me on this one, its confusing) A team of Avatars, verse a team of animals in soccer to take over the forest...revolving around lady gaga, and in the end they are some how related... yea strange but the kids liked it i think? So any way, 'barely' pulled the show off, as the kids didnt know their lines so was a big mess. But after, headed straight out with the other 3 teachers and my host brother to his house on the lake to have a big night! We could literally barely fit everything in his car (europeans only drive mini cars..), and then had to stop for a bucket load of drinks (soo cheap aswell, bottle of vodka $7? yes please) so the car was packkeeddd. But had a really good night, anoyed many neighbours, all who happened to be german, found a nice pool for a swim, and basically many random things happen.. guess thats what happens when u get an Aussie, German, American and English group together drinking!! Hung over day was sleeping at the lake, getting our tans on, then headed back to home to rest up! Next day, went with Franzi and her family to another massive lake and checked out an island there which has a house of Nepolian, was really nice, the garden had plants from all around the world, but i really didnt like the building, the french had no idea about paintings and interier decorating back then... But after that, early night to prepare for week 2!!!
This week has been so much easier: we know what we have to do, have checklists ready to go so we are ready for the show this time!! I also scored the oldest class at the camp (about 10-13 year olds), so its alot easier to teach and control!! The show that we have prepared for tomorrow is messed up again, but i reacon its gonig to be soooo good! The story is: Peter pan/tinkabell are flying around and meet jackie Chan and the crew from 'around the world in 80 days', and they start flying around together, then pikachu is calling for help, so they go and help him. Pikachu says Ash has been taken by the pirates of the caribbean, so on their way to rescue Ash they find charmander! Then any way, they fight the pirates in slow motion to "Kung fu fighting" song and basically thats it; strange but hilarious! So besides the show for tomorrow, been facepainting, had another water balloon day today, chilling out, OH, and we found out that we have a 3rd english camp!!! So next week, ill be heading to Turin for my 3rd and last english camp!! Im with 3 new teachers so i cant wait to find out who they are.. they better be cool...
Weighed myself the other day, came in at 72! So gained about 2kgs which is alright... Been able to go for a couple runs this week which is good, so hopefully can continue that so i dont turn into a blob... Also drove my host brothers car... was awesome to drive a manual again, but reaallyyy strange being on the other side of the car and also driving on the other side of the road... had some close calls haha. On the subject of my european Wifey, sadly i havnt met any girls that are of appropriate age haha, as im working i havnt been meeting many, but meh ill have plenty of time to find her when i start travelling again :P OH and also had dinner at my host brothers grandma's house... wooowww now that was a big feast.. she was traditional italian, so nice, always complimenting and saying 'eat more eat more!!!' Amazing food every night though...
So any ways, after 2 awesome weeks with my school and host family, heading out again after the show has finished at school, back to the lake to have a big night, then have to wake up earlish to drive back home and travel to Turin!!
Hopefully my new host family has internet!! Week 3 is around the corner...
