Highlights: 1st day of class

I’m thinking about getting a moped of my own. I was up at 4:30 this morning,, and anxious to get to the computer lab so I could check e-mail & update the adventures website,, but I couldn’t get a ride any sooner than 7:20. I wasn’t feeling overly patient this morning-

Today was our first day of classes though! It went well. The morning is divided up into three 1-hour classes: 8:00 reading/vocab (Pak Djoko), 9:00 grammar/writing (Pak Tri), 10:00 conversation (Bu Daru).
There are 6 of us who tested into the intermediate class, and 6 others who are learning bahasa for the 1st time, in the beginner class. All the teachers were nice- so it looks like it’s going to be a good 8 week semester!

We have 2 hours with our tutors on Mondays & Wednesdays after class, and then 2 extra-curricular classes. I picked cooking (5pm Wednesdays) and kickboxing (4pm everyday of the week except wed & sat. I can pick which days I go)
Lunch was funny today. 8 of us walked across the street to this restaurant, 4 of us discovered “hamburgers” mean Canadian bacon. Ha ha.
