Yesterday was a very tiring day. I had to sleep in, eat freshly prepared eggs, and swim in one of the three infinity pools at Pelican Eyes - San Juan's luxury resort/hotel. Then, if you can believe it, Erin made me eat some of her delicious cheeseburger, as we sat poolside. What a betch! Photo shoot in the pool with Erin, Heather and Michael the German was grueling as well. I tried to do some work by reading in the lounge chair near the pool, but again the group decided to antagonize and exhaust me by moving the festivities to a shaded cabana area complete with soft pillows. Of course, to my chagrin, interesting conversation ensued.
Next, as if all this merriment was not enough displeasure, I went home and sang in the shower; danced around naked in the room while playing Michael Jackson on repeat in honor of his Honor, and then had to eat an avocado salad! The horror!
On my way to una casa de Sara Pomares, where my friends live, I friggen had to buy an ice cream cone. Later, at the Iguana Bar, I was forced to converse and dance in the sand with an attractive Australian boy.
I CANNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!~
Ok, was that overkill? ;-D
Tomorrow though I do need to get back to (a little bit more) of a system. I will start teaching my first class of adult students. My OWN class - no others to look to for support/bail-out, etc. Haha Excited and nervous. But they will be beginner speakers and from what everyone tells me that have been volunteer English teachers, the adult classes - while not as fun per se as teaching/playing with kids - are more rewarding. The adult students are very eager and hungry to learn, and are very grateful for that which they do. I will teach one class of 15 students on Monday and Wednesday nights, from 6-8 pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I hope to tutor/help out at the Biblioteca in the morning, at about 9:30, or in the late afternoon. I'll have to figure out when I can venture out to the Nican school just outside of town, near the farm I stayed at in March. Erin and Heather want to join me on these days. Erin and I visited the school on Tuesday and had a blast (attempting to) teach the children Steal the Bacon. With how hot it is here, and all the dust, it is truly amazing how the children keep their white uniforms so crisp, clean and bright, and their blue uniform pants dust and dirt free!
Well, off to the pool now. Tried to get a cell phone today but the two places in town are closed, on account of it being Sunday. I will definitely go manana. I thought there were more places in town that sold phones, but turns out there are many places that sell extra minutes but not the actual initial phone or account.
Love and miss everyone! xxxxxxx
