I'm closing out a week and as Mom searches for my plane ticket back I get more and more eager to return. We went to Pricesmart today and Christmas is in town-at least there-I have mixed feeling because on one hand I'm eager to dance around the store; on the other I feel blue because I realize how early they are and it's not time yet.
Deceptive Pricesmart! You are cruel to foreigners!
The weeks go by pretty quickly. Not this past one though, we had a conference inside an ice cube. I luckily brought with me papers to grade. I also stole many pens and candy so at least I had a semi-sugar/ink high. It back-fired a bit though because then I was all fidgety in my seat and my attention wavered. We had plans for Friday to go to an artisan market, but last minute after the conference we were told we were going to immigration. We are semi-legit. We have a temporary picture card, however there is still paperwork that needs to be done in order to leave for the holidays :/ Not there yet. I think everyone's in agreement that we all want to punch someone over immigration issues.
Lots of work to do this weekend...you'd think having three days off from school for conference would allot some time for work, but...no. I'm actually eager for this week with the 7th graders! Believe me, I'm as surprised to hear and write that as many of you are! We're working on Folk/Fairy tales and I just love reading all the crazy grim Grimm stories (I had to add that other grim in...their name is so befitting). Priceless. Today I got to take a break and we had a Fall party. I think there was maybe 10 different soups? I tried them all...I am full. Great night, lots of laughs. As always.
It has been a while since I've posted, so I'll include a few pictures as to what's been happening. Enjoy! Love you guys!
