I arrived!

I'm finally here in Dubai:) Strange sleeping patterns, as in I got up by myself with no alarm clock at 6:30 am! We have a cute school bus that picks us up at the apartment buildings and brings us to school. Today is the first day of our orientation and we are learning lots.

 My "buddy" teacher is great! She has been teaching PE for many years and showed me around our PE area. There are 3 or 4 storage closets and there is tons of equipment. The gym/pool/tennis courts is in a separate building from everything. The school campus is huge! The pool is outside, but covered. Teachers can use it whenever.

Also, it is really flippin' hot. Currently it is 109 degrees, but feels like 115 degrees. They use the metric system here and so people keep saying things in Celsius which is confusing.

What else.... the flight here was super long, especially the 12 hour one. Not so fun. My apartment is awesome, it is HUGE. The ceilings are high, I have a king bed, and my own private balcony. ROCKSTAR STATUS.
