Not much different today. Stressed at school as usual. I did get to call Emma about some issues…that was good to be able to talk to one of my GNO girlies once again!!

After I hung up with Emma, I grabbed a computer and was going to try to load pictures, but the electricity went off on the block…so I just headed home and that’s about all I wrote! Hehe

Happy International Day of Work

NO SCHOOL!! Woo hoo! What a day…yeah actually Wara and I just cleaned the house and painted some furniture most of the day. LOL

In the afternoon, we watched ‘Jumper’ and then went to Patita’s house to watch ‘The Perfect Man’ and ‘No Reservations.’ Then, I printed off my resignation letter and that’s about all I wrote.

Well, today at school, right after the teacher’s meeting, I handed in my two weeks notice. I heard nothing the whole day, but I’m sure I’ll hear about it on Monday because we’re not going to church due to the status quo in Bolivia that day.

After school, I went home to get dressed for the gym.

When I got to the gym, I first went to the swimming office to ask about trying out for the pre-masters program and they had me do it right away.

So I apparently tried out for the club, which accepts people up to 25 I guess! Yeah so all they had me do was dive in, do freestyle to the other end of the pool. Come back doing backstroke and then I did one more length breast and that was it! So strange…but I got an invitation to join the club! PRETTY SWEET!

So, I just have to hand in 4 photocopies of my birth certificate, i.d. (passport), and wallet size photos and Bs. 85. and I’m in! I probably won’t be able to get those by Monday, but if I do, I start swimming every day from 7 to 8pm! I am SO EXCITED!

Then, I headed up to the gym, did some workouts, and then went out to eat at some random restaurant and then to church for young adults (youth group they call it).

Youth group was…interesting. Patita didn’t arrive right away and Jessica never even came…it was kinda awkward at first.

Yeah so apparently there’s a bunch of ‘tribes’ coming in for meetings…I am not sure what they’re called in English…but last year a bunch of riots broke out and there was at least one death…a little boy! Evo Morales (Bolivian president) apparently had two airplanes from Cuba (or Colombia) flown in full of guns for ‘his people’ and so there’s a lot of fear that it’ll be worse this year. I’ve even heard someone say that this start a civil war in Bolivia. So please pray for the safety of Bolivia and its people. Also, a little worry is happening because it’s well known that Evo does NOT like America, etc. So, please just pray for all the Americans and foreigners for that matter in this nation. I hear Venezuela doesn’t have any foreigners whatsoever anymore…they all got deported and are not welcomed. This is a huge prayer request. Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow. Thanks!
