Monday was my first day at work, i did my first three hours at "Ecole Pasteur", where I'll teach on Thursday afternoons. I am assisting two teachers there. After a two hour lunch break, I head over to my other school “ Ecole Thevenon”, where I teach Thursday mornings and Friday all day. So far I like the teachers and the students are so cute and nice. One of the little girls said to me “ tu es jolie comme un coeur”, ( you are pretty like a heart). They are so welcoming!! Now I am learning a lot about the French education system. The school system is so different than MN.
I had the opportunity to visit the pre-school, and there i met a little one who look so much like Gabe. They are so cute, a group of them would’nt play they just stay around me and asked me questions. They sang a little song for me and i taught them ‘old McDonald’, i had fun.
I can’t believe i have 2 hrs for lunch and in two weeks i'll have my first break ( 2 weeks off). One of the teachers told me “ in France we work to live, we don’t live for work”, and i have no problem with that life. I love the french way of thinking ... i do.... you never know i might stay longer. ( jk auntie Wendy. Even though i like it here, i miss home. I miss my babies ( Helen, Gabe and Loulou), no one to call me “sheshe” and also i miss calling my mom everyday ( love u mommy).
Well...
Bonne journée tout le monde

Cassie! It sounds like you have a great set-up. What are you doing Mon-Wed? Did you hear that my cousin is in Paris now going to school and working as a nanny. Sorry I didn't look at your blog sooner, for some reason I totally spaced and forgot that you had one till melissa reminded me. Thanks for calling on Sunday, sorry we couldn't answer, if I had know it was you and had my phone on vibrate instead of silent I would have left church to talk to you. I was getting kinda tired anyways:) About the thing you told us, we never ended up meeting and nothing has been said. Does that make sense, e-mail me or facebook me if not. So do you have skype or ichat? we should set up a time to talk. I still don't have a full time job. I had an interview last week but haven't heard anything back. Well, I should go to bed, it's late. Just want you to know that I am praying for you and am really glad you get to be in France following your dreams. Miss you!!!

I can't believe you get a two HOUR lunch break! I like the French philosophy better then Americans. I would love to work less!
