The day has finally come that we begin our student teaching journey here in Ramstein. As we previously discussed, Alex will be in first grade and I will be in kindergarten. We were both lucky enough to meet our teachers, who could not fit our personalities more perfectly! Our processing day was about 7 hours of sitting around...to say we weren't about to strangle each other would be a lie. Poor Dr. K actually saw Alex punch me and walk away. Don't worry, we made it through alive and with all of our IDs (that would be three if you're wondering). It's taken a few times (and some yelling back and forth) already to figure out which ID goes to what. We finally get to shop in the BX which is like the mall, grocery store, movie theatre and restaurants combined. Having everything tax free is definitely a huge perk!
Since we both have issues with the whole going to bed early and waking up early deal, we decided sleeping pills + a 10 pm bedtime are our best bet. We also have a 5 am wake up time that makes us cringe but we've solved that by preparing coffee the night before and waking up with the roomies to do morning yoga...yeah...who are we right? Well keep your britches on because we are ALSO doing the teacher workout classes after school 4 days a week. If that's not taking SB bod to the next level, I'm not sure what is (we ARE going to Italy after all). We're hoping all of this wakes us up enough to keep our energy levels as high as they need to be all day! We'll see how that all pans out in the next week...
