"Nadie aqui tiene la razon."

- Stuff with Tania is going pretty well, getting better slowly in terms of my confidence and focus. Things with Mercedes are kind of falling by the wayside, I probably only teach 1 hour with her a week out of 3. There is so much to think of at one time. Lesson planning structure, inclusion of communicative activities, decreasing the use of Spanish in class, and figuring out ways to make sure the students get it. Doing this with both people. I'll stop going on about this. They are both great.
- Adult community class is great as always, a group of about 8 people that are sincerely interested and come regularly. Teenager community class is falling apart, I might end it. Kids' community class is also going great, there are some especially cute ones. One is named Emmanual, I'll post a picture of him. Another is Juan. And this little teeny tiny one named Alejandra. Did I ever mention we have a class mascot? It's this little toy animal thing named Paco, each week a kid takes it home to take care of it. They go crazy, it's really funny and cute.
- San Gregorio guys are off and on. But they're cool. Working with them isn't too stressful.
- Miscellaneous Peace Corps work: There is going to be a workshop/training next Friday for the English teachers in Diriamba and Dolores that me and Megan are leading, so that's gonna be scary, and more work, but kind of exciting.
- My social life is getting better. I've made quite a few English-speaking friends. I don't have that much time to go out and hang out, probably because I spend most of my weekend time with Luis in Niquinohomo or on a day trip somewhere, but it's nice to have people to speak English with. My host mom legitimately treats me like her own kid, which is pretty nice, for example she insists on still feeding me and doing some of my laundry even after I've moved out. Yes, I have moved out! And I get wireless internet here! Which I pay for, of course. It's this big long room which I am going to divide in two, with it's own bathroom, and I share a backyard with the owners of the house, but the place has it's own street entrance. So these past two weeks have been pretty overwhelming having to buy a shitload of stuff (like a fridge and a stove and a gas tank and furniture) and there is still a bunch of stuff left to buy like pots and utensils and a shelf and a mirror and maybe some chairs. But it's really nice to have the luxury of sitting on my bed late on a Friday night with internet access.
- The next time I post, I need to describe in more detail the people in my life. I also need to write about my mom's visit 3 weeks ago! And pictures will be appearing on facebook soon from the visit and of my new place. Once I finish putting it together nicely.
This will be all for now. Good night.
