I watched ‘Underdog’ this morning. Then I had some eggs, tea, etc. Then, I discovered that my hair was ‘long enough’ to braid! YAY. Then, we went to church.
After church, I saw this adorable little puppy and the owners were just giving him away for free…man I sometimes wish I had a puppy to play with and take care of here!
So, today, my mom emailed me the details of my return. So, I leave Bolivia on Sunday, July 20th and arrive around 6? And then I have 3.5 days with friends and church, until we fly out to Oregon for our family reunion around noon on the 24th. Then, probably from Oregon, I will leave for Bolivia, for independence day around the 1st or 2nd… so yeah…there’s my visit!
4/14/08:
Sorry, I don’t know about this day! :)
4/15/08:
Happy Birthday Allison!
Happy Birthday Elisabeth!
Today I just went to school and did tutoring.
4/16/08:
I went to the gym today. I felt so good. I may have over done it a bit much as you will see in my 4/17 note…:)
After the gym, Wara and I went out to eat at a really good pizza place called ‘Sole Mio’ and we saw…and HEARD a lot of gringos (Americans). It was humorous.
After dinner I called Sarah and got to talk to Matthew and Silvia!! So sweet!! :)
4/17/08:
SORE!!!!! So SORE!!!! I felt like a robot all day long! Especially when we had to do aerobics…oh man it was very funny. It was kick-boxing or something and they played a techno/Rocky soundtrack the whole hour…I felt stupid to say the least. LOL
Oh yeah, and that day at school, there were parent-teacher conferences, and I have no idea why I had to even be there because I seriously did NOTHING…oh well…I got to color a little with the poor kids who got dragged along…LOL :)
4/18:08:
Teachers re-decorated rooms and I actually did something this time. I was still sore, but it was bearable.
Then, when we finished, I booked it to the pool and got to swim for almost 2 heavenly hours!! It was the best two hours of my life! I was in heaven for two hours! I don’t know how much I swam, plus it was kind of hard because there were teams training for the next day’s masters competition. I am considering joining masters here…I will have to sign up on Friday May 2. We’ll see.
That evening, we had a teacher’s meeting. I was late because of traffic, etc. I came in just in time to hear the kinder area teacher (Miss Carmen) talking. She mentioned me a lot and let’s just say that she directly asked the entire administration to consider taking immediate action on ‘me’ in front of the entire staff! Yeah awkward right?! So needless to say starting from the meeting until about now it hasn’t been very good.
I’ll try writing more about it another time…right now I need to go to sleep and get to school earlier tomorrow.
4/19/08:
Happy Quincenera Party Ivana!!! :)
I watched Little Man, and Last Holiday, and made pancakes and popcorn.
If I quit or get fired I might work at a baby orphanage owned by an American lady. Please pray with me about where I can go to next. Thanks.
4/20/08:
Happy Birthday Angie! :)
Wara and I went to Lago del Eden today with Patita and her parents. It’s this beautiful restaurant along a lake….well its dam at least lol. It has a castle on the premisces and we had so much fun taking pictures. However, I didn’t bring my camera that day! So mad at myself about that…but then again if it takes me over two hours to load just ten pictures…no matter.
Adela made sopa de mani. It was amazing!
Then, Wara and I went to Cine Center to celebrate a church friend’s birthday and I saw Sebas Santos, the youngest son of one of our first family friends here besides the Camachos!
Well, that’s basically it for now. :)
4/21/08:
no news about my job or lack thereof! I had ‘homework’ for kinder…including doing some laundry!? Strangest teacher chore! Then, I went to the gym and tutored.
4/22/08:
no tutoring today. They switched me to Thursdays and Fridays now…so no more swimming! Grrrrrr :(
4/23/08:
Happy Birthday Madeline! :)
I am now helping with 7th grade!?!?!
This evening, we had a teacher/parent meeting about the trimester. I was so bored. I drew some pictures, etc.
When I returned home, Wara informed me that she was heading off to Santa Cruz the next morning!? Apparently her school was on strike! LUCKY! Haha lol
4/24/08:
Went to school so I wouldn’t look like a fool LOL. I went to the gym. I got one hour of sleep. The end.
4/25/08:
School. Skipped gym. Watched movies. Began writing my first draft of my letter of resignation. I now teach 7th grade science?! We had a meeting about the English fair. I got a package from my parents.
4/26/08:
I cleaned my room. Tried to do laundry, but was unsuccessful because I can’t work the machine. Went to the Cancha alone! So fun! Bought gifts and fruit, etc. The end.
4/27/08:
Church, Patita wasn’t there!
I went to the downtown area and spent two hours and loaded ten pictures online. I called my grandparents, my mom, and the others didn’t answer! I ate some sugar cane I bought on Saturday! I watched movies and then looked at wedding pictures from Israel/Erin’s wedding the day before and only seven pictures my mom took at Ivana’s 15era! So beautiful!
4/28/08:
LATE! 7th grade science; not liking it at all. I am doing an outline of the book for myself so I can answer some questions. I wrote my letter…hopefully my final draft so I can give it to the administration tomorrow. I found out today that I am a kinesthetic (sp?) learner! That answered a lot of my life questions! Thank you Jessica!! :)
Now, I am finally caught up on my notes!!! :)
