Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Sept 2-4

These last few days have been good; it’s just that every day is like an emotional roller coaster with teaching. Some hours are fine and the kids are paying attention and other times they don’t listen even if I try everything in my power to have them do so. Its frustrating; and then again its fun when they understand and pay attention and seem to enjoy the things we are learning. Each day is very much the same now during the week: I go to school; teach; lesson plan and grade after school, have dinner and chill with the girls, and go to sleep.
Thursday we did got to town because we finally got paid and we were all in desperate need of money. We rode the bus down with the kids again and its so fun to be able to have fun with them outside of the classroom. The bus always has music on and we (the teachers) were kinda dancing around to it and all the kids saw it and they started dancing with us. Then they kept going up to the driver to ask him to play this song and that song and then coming back to the back of the bus and dancing it up with us again. It’s great. We went to the bank in town to get money and had to keep our backpacks outside of the building. While we were waiting outside the guards asked us how to say ‘push’ in English so we told them and they kept trying to say it, but some of them couldn’t get the ‘sh’ sound…it was good they wanted to practice, but it was funny, too.
When Friday came I was so ready for the weekend. I try to live out everyday here, I but definitely look forward to the weekends, especially if we have something planned. Our plans for this weekend were to travel to San Pedro to see the Honduras versus Trinidad/Tabago futbol game! I was so excited because I had never been to a futbol game and wanted to have that experience here. After school Friday we went home and spent some time grading papers and then had dinner at the comedor; we played with the kids there and conversed with Sonia and some others and then made sure we went to bed on time because we had to wake up at like 4:30 tomorrow morning to head to Gracias to catch our bus to San Pedro.
