"You talk funny"

So, I was trying to add pictures to my blog, but being that I am a blogging idiot, I cant seem to figure out how to do that. So hopefully you can use the link at the top of my page to check out pictures from my journey.

The past two days, I have had the lovely opportunity to work with the Out of School Club. The Out of School Club is for children ages 4-15. They are picked up from school by the YMCA and are brought back to the YM to hang out, have tea (snack time), and to hang out. Since the children range in age, its quite crazy at times. My first day working with the Out of School Club, I felt like I was on show and tell. When they children first arrived, they basically ignored me, but as I was serving tea (sandwiches, and juice) one of the children mustered up the courage to say "Miss, you talk funny". My response was of course "Do, I?". This then proceeded to a game of guess where the new teacher is from. Of course they guessed American right away and from then on I gained instant popularity. The children wanting me to play games with them, sit next to them, and most importantly tell them about all the Hollywood celebrities that I have met (unfortunately , I have to disappoint them when it comes to the Hollywood part).
