Classes have seemed to start well and getting back into the rhythm hasn't seemed too tough. The only problem that I have so far is that there has been a lot of singing going on in the lot next to the school. I believe it is a revival which has been going on all week and I think will continue next week. It is a good thing, but the problem is that people are meeting outside in the lot next door rather than indoors and it is so loud and with my windows facing that direction it has been hard to teach. I have to shout to the students for them to hear my and I have to use all my listening skills to understand the student's questions. I did notice though that I haven't told anyone to stop talking, but that is probably because I couldn't hear them if they were. It's an uphill battle, because they have a megaphone and I don't. We should be back on schedule soon, I hope!
