Today is the last day of school! It's been a good year and all the kids I've worked with have worked really hard and put in a good effort. As I could've predicted, the last one standing is Michaila. While all others have been wooed by the fancies of summer break, Michaila has pulled through, working a full week after everyone else was finished! Both of us are very relieved to be in the final hours of this year... and approaching the beauty of summer freedom!
Of course, I am feeling a little sentimental, taking too many pictures, perhaps. It's just been a really great year and I've learned so much and come to love so many people here. It will be hard to leave. Even being in the Cabildo today.. the dreaded Cabildo that I always wished would be closed for maintenance (saying I wished it would burn down just sounds too dramatic) so we didn't have stare at its blank walls and burn in its heat... made me a little sad. I will even miss the Cabildo.
Save for that bit of sentimentality, I'm glad to be done! It's Friday and we're approaching MK Camp which means we're also approaching (the week after MK Camp) my FIRST full week at Loma de Luz without a JOB! YIPPEEEEE!!!! I imagine it will be a great vacation before I head home and start the job hunt.
Well, I have another medical issue I guess I ought to alert you on. I'm covered in a rash from an allergic reaction to MANGO TREE SAP! :( It's sad. But, more than anything, I can't believe I'm getting beat up so badly! I feel pathetic.
Yesterday I went to the Children's Center and finally got some pictures of the niños. I'll post a few here and probably, a little later, on Facebook.
Last update is that I'm almost finished with my first Spanish chapter book! Se llama "La Princesa que Creia en Los Cuentos de Hadas". Y estoy muy emocionada que CASI he leido un libro con capitulos en Español.
Ta-ta for now.
