The teaching was...OK!
My laptop wouldn't connect to the projector so I had to use the teacher's computer. That meant in one class, one of the videos didn't play and the other class didn't have a computer I could connect to so the teacher just held up my laptop to play the video.
I'm doing another 2 lessons on Wednesday so I've pre-loaded the images and videos onto the school's drive so they can be accessed by any computer in the school AND I've checked everything works and can be seen on the school's computers just in case! So hopefully all will go well on Wednesday!
Then I've also been asked to do a whole school assembly the Wednesday after and show them what life was like as a volunteer instead of about the kids, and that week they're going to do a non-school-uniform day and I think they might even be having a 'wash your own' week where the kids get sponsored to wash their own socks!
I bought my insurance today for the whole of my trip and that was the last thing I had to 'buy' or was on my list of needs money-wise that didn't include day-to-day spends, so in theory everything is planned!
Well, apart from my visa. I'm hoping it will all be OK. But I'm really nervous there will be a problem with it. I can phone up on Wednesday to find out whether my application has been approved/the visa has been granted and if it hasn't then if it's because of my pitifully poor form writing skills, then it will take 5 working days to process a fresh application which has to be over the counter aaaand the only embassy is in London. So here's hoping it goes smoothly because as much as I would love to go back to London, I really don't want to go back!
Argh...the stress!
