Training Day

All of the teachers and customer relations staff arrived at our school this morning for a company wide training on the administrative aspects of the small star courses. I thought it was weird because they kept all of the schools together in their own teams for each of the presentations so there was no socialization with the other groups with the exception of lunch time. I was disappointed that I didn't get much of a chance to talk and meet with other teachers from the other schools. We also had to wear our uniforms all day even though students and parents were not allowed into the school all day. Kind of weird.

Stephanie took Nick, Evelina, and me to a big Ross-like clothing store where Nick and Evelina were able to buy coats for the Winter. We made our way to La Bamba for dinner. When we arrived, the TV was on and showing the last part of the Oregon vs. Arizona game. Nick went to school at Arizona so it was a cool moment. One Duck and one Wildcat watching a game taking place thousands of miles away in Beijing in a Mexican restaurant.

Claire came for dinner a little while later as did some of Stephanie's friends. It was a fun Sunday evening. I had a delish vegetarian burrito and coconut juice.
