Well here we are...it is already June 21st. The first day of summer and yet we are still in school. That is the hardest things for my brain to understand hahaha...I am ready to be done with Mexico. However, I think it has a been a great experience and I really love my kids. I will miss them dearly, but many of them already email me all the time so I will get to keep in touch with them:).Figures.....
This past week we started our end of the year exams and they will continue until the end of this week and then I am FREEEEEEEE!!:) This past Wednesday, I started to have a TERRIBLE sore throat so I went to the doctor and once again I have a throat, nose, and ear infection. Now let me tell you that I love them;) Truly I love them...... I am starting to feel better and am hoping by the weekends end, I will be fully recovered. I did treat myself to the new Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds movie and lets just say I LOVED IT!!!!!!
I miss the rain down in Torreon....
It has been a strange past couple weeks in terms of the weather. We have been having dust storms and rain storms. It is kind of unusual but it nice to have a change. However, the thing that was not fun was just getting out of the shower to a PITCH BLACK room. I admit that I did scream because what else is there to do when you get out of the shower and all of a sudden the lights go out?! It was definitely an experience haha. I was trying to think of what I could use for light and I remembered that one of my students gave me this huge candle apple for teachers day so I lit it. So for the next couple of hours, I sat in my HOT DARK room and finally I was tired enough to sleep. Well a couple hours later all of my lights and fans turned on and it freaked the crap out of me hahahaha. I woke up in a daze and stumbled around my room trying to shut the lights off hahaha.
The other funny site in terms of the weather was when I went to the movie on Friday. The weather looked pretty iffy but hey whatever, I needed to see the new SB movie! Well during the movie, we could hear the rain. It poured and poured. Now in Torreon, they aren't prepared for such rainfall in a small amount of time so when we got out of the movie, the streets were literally flooded!! It was an adventure. Then when we finally "swam" home, we decided we were hungry and some of us went out in the rivers looking for a good chinese restaurant. It was definitely quite the experience and I had some awesome chinese that was under 4 bucks!!! I laughed quite a bit!!
It will be a good rest of the year. My birthday is on Wed and my friends have something fun planned so that will be fun. We also took a trip last weekend to a really tiny town to have a bachelorette party for out friend megan who is getting married. It was a really fun and relaxing weekend! I may not have time to blog from now until I leave on July 1st so I want to thank all of you for keeping up with me and caring about my life!!! I will keep you posted when I get home and I hope to see you soon!!
