Thursday I got sick. I had one class take a short quiz (the other class had done it the night before as homework) and I realized these kids don't know how to create basic sentence structures. So I had them write out sentences using the vocabulary words and then I tried to get the other students to correct the mistakes that were made. I hope it helped them.
Then I went back to the apt and promptly passed out, sick as a dog. When I woke up I was disoriented. I didn't know where I was. Someone told me (or else I overheard someone say) that it was the fifth and there were fireworks outside so I thought it was Bonfire Night in London for a bit. The electricity was off so I went to turn the generator on and I electrocuted myself and, shocked (no pun intended), I went back to bed.
Friday I took medicine and felt a bit better, so I went on the field trip with the kids. It was like watching a civilization made up entirely of children; there were 200 of them, and about 20 of us, all splashing around in a dirty river. Nonetheless, it was a lot of fun.
Yesterday was amazing. We went to Jeita Grotto and Byblos. THE CAVES WERE THE MOST SPECTACULAR THINGS I HAD EVER SEEN. The ski lift was fun, the statues were nice, the Roman ruins were cool, but the caves blew everything else away. I HIGHLY recommend going to them if you ever have the chance. It was like something out of Lord of the Rings, only real. They forbid taking pictures or I would've taken a fuckton, but seriously, my jaw was literally dragging the floor. GO! If at all possible: GO!! It was more beautiful than Petra! Petra, you guys!
Expect a lot of photos of 'Bilbo in Byblos' soon. Here's a preview:
