Kolkata Day 5...Mother Teresa

Hi Hi!
Today we got to go back to school and heck I don't know why I am saying got to as if it was a privelege or awesome. Today at school made me want to never go back and never teach EVER AGAIN! We got to the train station and I was in a good mood. We had some yummy tea there in Dalit cups. I got on the train and this folks is a very hard task in India. Seating is a free for all and men are crazy animals that are put on this Earth to ruin my day. So I am the best out of our whole group at pushing through, grabbing seats and laying my body out in such a way that I save a seat for all 5 of us. Today Emily got on first and we both put our legs up to save seats for the slow, naive, precious Japanese kids. I had my foot across to the backwards facing seats saving them and this man f-ing sits on my foot. OW! and HELL NO! I said "ya know I am saving these seats for my friends" in the sweetest way I could manage and he said "no that is not how it works" in a pissy I am not going to move for you way and this is when I go off on him. (HE IS STILL SITTING ON MY FEET BY THE WAY!) He goes on to tell me that that is UNCIVILIZED! So I say "um, everyone pushes and nearly tramples each other to get on here and you are calling me saving seats uncivilized!?" (Oh and also there are still seats all around us so I don't know why he is fighting it so much.) So this fighting goes on for a long time. The Japanese finally show up and find other seats and me and this guy are still arguing. Emily throws in (in response to something mean he said) "We are uncivilized??? In America it is ladies first and you respect women!" Haha kick-ass Emily! By now I am saying "Just stop, we are all seated, it is over, move on and get over it". Then he talks to his friend about how impolite we are and righty so after the way he talked to us.
Anyways then we got to the school and I find out that the weekend trip they are supposed to take us on is actually NOT inclusive like we thought the website said it actually costs like $450 US to take the weekend trip to Delhi and Agra. Now I fricken have to come back to this country just to see the Taj Mahal and the ghats.
Then the children come. I get the stubborn girl again and she is a bad influence on this other girl named Sonom. So I am desperately trying to get them to do something and when I am about to start beating them I realize that I could tell the teacher to tel them that they need to work NOW! She says something to them and goes back to gossiping with her teachers aid. Ugh. They work for about five minutes and then start coloring again. I have no patience for this so I turn around and ignore them the rest of the day. I would be a horrible teacher in real life. Well I could maybe do older kids....and only History, my favorite subject.
We get done and go back to the hotel for lunch and I am exhausted from this emotionallu draining morning. Emily and I set out to find Mother Teresa's House and Hospital. It is a few blocks down from our alley so we were lucky to be able to walk. We got there and looked around the hospital a little but of course it is all closed up to visitors on Thursdays. Next we walk a little further down and get to the house. I think that this is where all the nuns stay but it was closed up as well except for Mother Teresa's tomb. We got to go in and take pics and take flower petals from her tomb. It was really cool to be there and know that this was where she helped to many people. We found out that we can volunteer at the hospital whenever we want so next week we might do it a couple afternoons.
Overall this was a really cool day and I am excited we only have one more day of school and then it is the weekend. YAY!
I love you all...talk to you soon!
I love you mom!
