post office mayhem

the simplest tasks here are never simple. at the post office today it took me forever to try to mail a package. no one understood what i was asking and finally they called someone on the telephone who spoke english that i could talk to. i thought i'd never get out of there. before i left i tried to get more mailing forms so i could have them filled out before going to the post office. of course when i asked for them the lady kept telling me one week. i tried to tell her i wasn't asking how long it would take the packages but simply wanted some extra forms. once again they went for the phone where i had to speak to someone about it. finally i was able to leave with forms in my hand. when i got back to the office i realized one of my gloves were missing. i backtracked my steps back to the post office but i didn't see it. i even asked at the post office like that was going to help and still nothing. so now i only have one glove. i'm sad.

i found out today that little brenda now likes me. it seems that playing with her and lisa in the playroom paid off. although she was still giving out 'tude in horace's class. during one of the breaks lisa asked her to play and she said no. when we were in class lisa told me "no teacher play with jenny." these two are definitely something. i can say this it will never be a dull moment with them. we watched a dora the explorer video today. it's in korean, english, and spainish but at least the girls seem to enjoy to it. although the episode we watched today was exactly the same as the yesterdays. instead of a little blue bird that was trying to find it's mother we watched a little blue train trying to win a whistle against the big green and red trains. talk about good programing. yikes. i'm not sure how many more of these i can sit through.
