This week was full of studying and test taking-outside of school! On Monday, Justine and I had a study session. Tuesday, we took the written part of our waterwise instructor test, which I passed with flying colors. Wednesday, I went to see my host sister in her lead role in the musical Footloose which was playing at the Pump House Theatre down the street. I went with Justine my friend from Iowa, Lolo (my families homestay right before I got here) from Belgium, and Raiko (Lolo's friend) from Japan. It was a fabulous show!! Thursday night was the night of truth. I took my practical test for waterwise and passed!! I can officially sail : ) I received a hat and I will get a certificate sent to my school soon saying that I am certified to be a Waterwise Instructor. On Thursday I also found out that I was in the Daily Iowan back in Iowa City. A girl had emailed me a couple of weeks ago asking some questions and then there I was on November 10ths edition. I also made it into Forrest Hill's newsletter last week saying that I was doing my student teaching here from America. I think that means I'm famous now haha.
I asked one of my students today to take her cap off before she sat on the mat (I'm not sure why I said cap-I never use that term) but she turned to me and went "Miss Bussewitz, we say hat here. Do you use that word in your world?" It was so precious!!! They really do believe that I am from a different world than they live in!!!
I head teach next week!! Wish me luck!
