I became grossly ill yesterday and missed most of the orientation sessions today. I'm not sure what made me sick. It could have been a combination of living in close quarters with 30 other people (in a hostel), drinking the water here or the food. I'm thinking it was something I ate this past weekend in Valparaiso.
I did make it to one session today, and we found out more about our placement site. I will be living with another teacher in my school. Also, I will be living with her parents and her husband. The entire household is over the age of 50. I was surprised to find that I will not have 10 kiddos running around, but I think it could be a good thing. (ie. more alone time, a break from kids, etc) The family described themselves as warm/friendly, studious, and religious. They are positive that my Spanish will improve. (The emails they sent me were very formal, as if written by scholars)
Also, I think I will be working for a technical school. The name of the school has the word "Ingeniero", which means Engineering. I thought I would be teaching medio (1-8th), but now I'm unsure.
I am trying to go into the next week with minimal expectations. (because there is a HUGE chance that it will change.)
