I arose at the crack of dawn this morning- again to the hideous sound of a rooster.
Priscilla and I both woke up around 6- she had a doctors appointment and I had to get going early so that I could make it to the school by 8 to help with english classes. I chugged my hot fakemilk (ew) and quickly ate my kiwi and banana platter. The turkey sandwich once again failed to make the cut and went to the dogs later in the day.
Today Lauren and I really had a good time at the school. The girls were slightly more attentive and there seemed to be much better attendance. We came up with a game! It needs some improvement, but worked as we had hoped. Nothing like a little FIERCE competition amongst a roomfull of 18+ crazy Chilean girls. It can get out of hand quickly if you aren't careful. Something new to add to the list of in-class distrations: card games.
My groove was ruined when I sat in a faulty chair and went crashing to the floor- thankfully no one laughed and the moment quickly passed. So unreliable, Chilean technology. Even the most primitive i.e. a chair. I wasn't embarrassed...this has happened too many times to get upset.
After class, we went home for lunch. Unfortunately, I failed to tell Priscilla that I had class at 2, not 2:30. This meant that I had no time to eat and had to rush off to school. We had class until 6, so I ate lunch at 6:30. Weird.
Its starting to get very festive around here...everyone is getting excited for the 18th!!!
And Janet, the other english teacher, says that in October everyone is going on strike. THAT should be interesting! More travel time for us ?!?! Who knows...
Lauren and I were walking around the other day saying that it feels like something is about to happen in Chile. The party is going to be so huge and there is so much excitement that we can already feel it, 12 days ahead of time. Woo!
Until tomorrow,
Lesley
