Facials!
The pics is fuzzy but you get the idea...I love spending time with my students outside of class.
Tuesday, I was supposed to be tutoring French, but Angie and Gelda were sick, and Carmen never showed up. Carmen from MY class did show up though just to play and hang out with Sthephany and I. We ended up not doing French (since the other girls would then be behind) and did face masks instead. The girls loved it and we had a good time.
The funniest part was that when Carmen and I were washing off our faces (Sthephany was already done) Sthephany asks me for my e-mail address. I ask her why, and come out of the bathroom to see her filling out some online dating profile for me. Apparently she clicked on the ad that came up beside her e-mail account for a dating site. She had already put in my name, age, sex, preference, and country. She didn't even think it was funny. She said "no Mees, we will find you a boyfriend on the computer." lol... cute.
Today after school I went to Selina's house with Carmen, Marshall, and Selina. We had a great time playing with the animals. We spent more
Marshall and the Kitten
One of the adorable kittens of the time though playing in the pool which was SO nice. I wish I had a pool in my backyard.
Tomorrow is half a day of school and then report cards go home in the afternoon and parents can stop by to chat with the teachers. That should be fun. lol... although they did think to give translators to those of us who need them. YAY!
Friday morning we'll be up BRIGHT and early as a bus leaves the school at 6am for Tegus. There is no school Friday, as there is a conference in Tegus for teachers. Apparently schools from all over Honduras are sending representatives. The conference is Friday and Saturday, so a bunch of us are spending the night in Tegus. I think Julie, Jill, Alisa, and I are getting a room at the Marriott which is where the conference is happening. Should be fun.
Here's hoping I learn something helpful for my classroom!

differences....
it's so interesting to read about the differences there are between our culture and different cultures (like honduras). here in canada you'd never as a kid go over to your teachers house to hang out with them and go swimming and do face masks. there is nothing wrong with it, but it wouldn't be encouraged here. there it seems to be so normal. why do we have to live in a place where everyone is so paranoid about bad thi ngs, like teachers being inappropriate with their students an blah blah blah, know what i mean? sounds like you are still having a blast, can you belive how fast the time has gone?? keep having fun!!!
