Top of the Morning

This morning might have been my favorite morning so far working in the orphanage. The professors are in town, so they came to visit our apartment for a little while this morning. Of course, the kids did not behave in their normal manner in front of the professors. Danny was way more ADHD than normal, running from toy to toy in a split second. The others were not too far off of the way they normally behave, but they were still confused by the 5 visitors (Aislynn, Mario, and a professor's husband were there, too).
But Angela and I came prepared with questions for the professors. They were very helpful with answering our questions about how to deal with certain misbehaviors and certain teaching styles. It was really helpful, since they only stayed for about half an hour, we were able to implement some of their recommendations already this morning. It will take some time, but I think that it will really improve the help we can provide for these kids and prevent them from hurting one another as well as other people.
The rest of the morning, the kids behaved well, too. Maybe it is because we were already doing what the professors told us to do. We also had our favorite workers at the apartment this morning. It was just a great day overall. The kids in the afternoon were great, too! One of them was a little out of control, but he just got home from a week in the hospital, so we couldn't censure him too much. I would be crazy if I were stuck in the hospital, too.
When we got home for lunch, I got to eat some leftover chili and 2 Cremosso yogurts (oops). I'm also e-mailing Dannon today to tell them that they need to sell Cremosso yogurt in the United States. It's the most delicious yogurt in the world. Mmmmmm....I really want to eat another one right now, too.
The chilli is left over from our big group dinner on Tuesday night. We made dinner for ourselves, the professors, Mario, and Robby. We made Kelsey's amazingly delicious Georgia chili recipe and got delightful Romanian bread and Podu Ros made gogosi (like donuts.) Basically it was fantastic even though we didn't get to eat it for an hour since the professors were late. We then had a long meeting with the professors. They were shocked that only 5 girls out of the 14 of us have our own beds. I don't know how this wasn't known at BYU. Some girls have had to share beds since the program got a second apartment and now we have 3. Really I think that BYU just needs to buy a house out here, or at least outright buy an apartment. I think it would be more fiscally responsible in the long run. The program has already been running for 13 years. I can't imagine it's going to end anytime soon.
We went to visit 2 monasteries with the professors. They are from the 13th century and have somehow survived all this time (with paint renovations and such.) They were beautiful. I'll have to put pictures of them up once the professor downloads them.
