Our Fourth Day

Thursday May 31, 2018

Good day my loyal readers! Did you want to hear all about our day? Alright then!

We started out with a quick breakfast of pastries with cherry filling, and cold-press coffee.Then we made our way to our first class observation at the same office we went to on Tuesday.
The lesson today was a continuation of the topic we discussed last time: School Systems. We had a really animated conversation about exams and how much pressure they put on kids these days to do well on them. After class we chatted with the teacher, Egle, who is about our age. All of us have a lot in common, and we made some tentative plans to get together for dinner some night soon!


If you follow me on Facebook, you may already know that after class we decided to take a walk down a nature path through Jomanto Park.
It was a pretty short path, which led us directly to these really unique yellow buildings that looked sort of like converted shipping containers turned into shops and restaurants.



We spent some time perusing the stores here, then hopped on the bus to head back to our flat.

Instead of going back home, however, we stopped into the Panorama mall to treat ourselves to a little gelato. Usually they cost 1 euro and 50 cents for an individual scoop, or you can get two scoops for 2 euro - so Tim and I just shared one cone with two scoops. We sat and did some people watching for a little while until we had to leave to get to our second class of the day, which was at the office right above our flat. Tonight's class was very lighthearted. We separated into two teams and came up with five examples of things, for example, "five things you listen to". Then the other team had to try and guess the examples you came up with. It was an effective game to help with English vocabulary, and I even thought it would be fun for native English speakers to play, just because!

This seems like a pretty short entry, even though I feel like we did a lot today. I've been feeling very tired today, and I even took a little nap earlier while we were sitting at the mall. I think the heat and all the walking has finally taken its toll on my body. I need to get a lot of rest tonight, because Tim and I have a free day so we are waking up very early to take the train over to a very cool castle in the middle of a nearby lake! I can't wait to share that experience with you tomorrow!

Good evening from the lovely Lithuania!
