Tuesday, December 15

When my alarm went off this morning, it was extremely difficult to get out of bed. I knew that if I was tired, my kids would definitely be tired as well. When I arrived at school, I got confirmation of that haha. My kids kept saying, “Miss we can have an hour to sleep?” “Miss, I have sueno (tiredness, sleepiness).” Many of them didn’t feel well with headaches, stomachaches, sore throats, runny noses, etc. So I was like, “Kids I know we’re all tired, but let’s just try to make it through the day together as best as we can and tomorrow won’t be as bad. So overall the day went alright; Mr. Lara couldn’t teach his math class again because he had to have a meeting with Mrs. Lagos or Gonzalez, so I took it for him and had the kids do some review. I tried to do mostly review stuff with them or tie up loose ends in classes. I planned on having a penmanship test the last hour…didn’t happen; we planned our Christmas party for tomorrow instead. One good thing is the administration said we’re only having a half day tomorrow; we get to leave at 1pm. I think all of us are ready to take a break from the school, adminstration’s lack of communication, abnormal schedule, our kids and even each other a little bit! We didn’t have tutorias after school (what would be the point today?), but I stayed after a little bit to make my kids presents: cups full of candy! Mr. Bran, Laura Beth and I walked home together and stopped at the comedor for a bit to hang out with Paola, drink coffee and eat sweetbread. We decided it would be easier to eat at the comedor our last two nights to save us the time, energy, and dishes of making our own food, so we had baleadas at the comedor for dinner tonight. I don’t think I’ll ever really get sick of them! I finished my last episode of ALIAS Season 1, and then we all talked and freaked out that tomorrow was our last day of school and then we head home!
