My 16 Days later......

Well, it's been about 16 days since my last post and I've been a bit busy, although it's no excuse to share with you the good times of 'Zuela.

The past two weeks have been pretty busy down here. After the secondary soccer tournament (which I'm still refusing to admit happened, in fact, I'm just going to pretend I never went to Maturin....ever) I got back into the swing at school. For the first time since January, I don't have ANY after school activities!

I've also been searching for jobs over the past few weeks. I've applied in Poland, Italy, Ireland, four schools in the DC area and Pierre, SD....but sadly, no love yet. Hopefully something will come some time soon. It's a funny situation, but everyone says they want a teacher with experience and teaching abroad is always a bonus....but when the time & that option comes along....they aren't willing to take a chance. It's kind of ironic really....

But on to other things.....

I just got to do/experience something new today: a purchase order for my school for next year....and to be honest...it was weird. I thought it odd to be buying the things that I actually thought my school needed. So with the $$ I was allotted, I went for new 5th grade Science textbooks and 6th & 7th grade Social Studies textbooks (which we didn't actually have). I thought it was interesting to have a certain amount of $$ at my disposal and to actually be thought of as responsible enough to take care of these things......

....whoa.....I'm getting old!

As for other things. We have our last break quickly approaching and to be honest, I have no idea what to do. I really don't. I just want to get back to the States, honestly...but I have a little longer to wait for that.

Tomorrow should be a fun day and I'll try to take and share some pics with you...we're having a Bowling Field Trip (to those of you that snicker, it could be justified to work on PE-fine motor skills and some Math skills as well). Good times ahead.

AND before I go...I just discovered something....well....LEGENDARY on itunes. How I Met Your Mother, one of my favorite shows, is now on there. Suit up! (and watch)
