wow so i've officially been in my site for a year...pretty amazing. so a few interesting things have been happening...
so i just found out that a few months ago the gossip going around was that i was pregnant but got an abortion...really? was i getting that fat? interesting...also the principal of my school may or may not have told the parents not to invite me to their kids' graduation parties...very sad....and supossedly i'm dating a kind of married guy. this is what happens in small towns where there is nothing else to do. and the fact that we are once again without power (it's been a month encounting...) doesn't help...it gets pretty boring.
the school year is over!!! yea!!! so the kids had their end of the year parties. at one of my schools the 6th graders had to wash the floor...but instead they decided to throw bags of water on each other. so i got to class and asked why are so many of you wet?? so they explained and then said, "profe, you won't get mad if we get you wet will you?" why of course not! so i joined in the water fight. we had a blast...it turned into trowing huge 5 gallon buckets of water on each other. i was soaked. none of the other teachers got in on the action...lame...but i had a blast. so i dripped my way back to la pavana...somehow the ride didn't seem nearly as hot...
this saturday is 6th grade graduation...i'm so excited! dec. 4th is preschool graduation at my other school and dec 10 is 6th graduation at my other school. it's going to be great...lots of food and lots of dances. i'm pumped.
my school's out schedule is as follows...
exercise group - monday, wednesday, friday
girls jewelry making group - monday
elementary english class - tuesday
high school/college english class - wednesday
story time/literacy lesson - thursday
it's going to be great! and somewhere in there i'll be working on HIV prevention, gardens and building a communal house...
so in my other town, they built a basketball/soccer/volleyball court...it's so sweet. so the other day i watched some guys play basketball...oh my it was the best thing i've ever seen. double dribbling, traveling half the court, apparently bball is now a contact sport, reaching in...doesn't exist. and shooting...well i think most 5 year olds shoot more correctly. so that is perfect because i have no problem playing with them. and hopefully they will let me teach them how to play...
well i guess that's it for now...i'll be home soon!!! love from nica
