"Si no es una cosa, es otra."
So now, in the cyber with the good music, THEY PLAY BOLLYWOOD. LOL. Crazy. I don´t really know where to begin updating. I met for the first time with the San Gregorio teachers last Friday, and today for the second time. There are 5 but only 3 are really serious and gonna come regularly. They are Gilberto, Jose Antonio, and Absalom. Today we met in San Gregorio, which is 2 bus rides, about 40 minutes, away. We alternate each week between there and Diriamba, which is 10 minutes away from me. I´m also now working with the other English teacher in my school, Mercedes, but she only teaches 7th grade, so that´s not much extra work. I haven´t been searching very hard for a house, but I should start. I am gonna try changing my malaria pills to see if it improves my hair loss problem. I also have a skin situation on my arms that the doctor said was nothing but it has spread so I´m gonna ask again. There are also a bit of constipation issues. In case you wanted all of my health deets. I have been having some strange abdominal pain for the past week, not severe, just strange, and some lower back pain, which I think is from spending a lot of time standing (in class) and reaching up high to write in the board. In other news, Luis is kind of officially turning into a rockstar. He signed some contract to perform in the artisan market in Masaya, so we´ll see how that goes. There have also been some modeling offers, and talk of going to some kind of music school that doesn´t cost a lot of money apparently. Did you know that there is some Mexican remake of High School Musical? It´s pretty much the same, except they play soccer instead of basketball. I was just watching it with my nieces. Oh, one of the cybers (not this one) has wireless internet, which is pretty exciting. I just told the guy working in this cyber about it, I still plan to remain loyal to him, he is the nicest cyber owner. My sister is moving to West Virginia, and my mom is in India, and my dad is in Cali and I am in Nicaragua. School has been pretty good, mainly trying out amazing activity ideas that fail because there are too many students in the classrooms. The class size ranges from 30 to 55. Still being a bit intimidated by Tania at times. I keep on finding students, and people in general, that remind me of people back home. Mostly friends. My schedule is falling into place, and I really want to start a youth group in addition to everything else. I got the mayor to pay for an announcement about my English classes that I´m starting on Tuesday. Hopefully not a ridiculously overwhelming amount of people show up, but a good amount. Today`s heat has drained all of the energy out of me. I´m gonna go now, byebye.
