Monday's are the busiest.

Lauren and I met at Plaza Vina at 7:45 this morning to walk towards our lovely Liceo Vina del Mar where we teach each Monday from 8-12.

The first of three classes went pretty bad- we were both feeling useless. Then again- it could have been the fact that Lauren, Janet, and I were all feeling a little/a lot under the weather. Janet even had to leave early!
The second class was better- we were able to help the girls through an activity and they actually understood and participated! Not to mention, I don't think I saw any dreadlock creations in the making.
The third class ROCKED! We dominated the lesson (modal verbs) simply by writing on the board exactly how we would have done it back in the States. Its not hard to learn if you can just remember the formulas!

I had from 2 until 6 and came home right away via colectivo. Its been a while since I have NOT walked home, but today I was feeling exceptionally tired and decided to flag down a driver. Priscilla had to leave right away to go to a mass for her friend who died just yesterday. Its sad- she's getting phone calls left and right but I think she's doing good.

Tomorrow she has her LAST doctor's appointment before she has the baby in 16 days.

Pizza for dinner- couldn't have been better.

Luego,
