today was the new student opening ceremony. It was pretty nice. There are four new teachers. Then the English teachers have switched around as well. At least this week my schedule changed today so i will actually have some lessons this week. I am so happy. It should be a nice week hopefully. The rains have started, so that helps to melt the snow. Then i filled up the kerosene tank last night- i had to drive an hour to find the gas station that was selling it still- and i was actually under the tank this time. It has been a while since i haven't bent down to fill it up, or climbed up five feet of snow to get to it either.
