Starting Week 2

This week is a busy one! Monday I volunteered at a daycare, today I am going to a school, we are meeting our conversation partners at a local university, Thursday we are holding a soccer clinic for a private school gym class and going on a boat tour of the endangered mangroves, and Friday the weekend starts! And probably holds another adventure to a new place. We are also starting activities at night like soccer, volleyball, and a local aerobics class. I don’t know how they expect me to do school…

I had a great time at the daycare, there was only 3 little girls and they were very shy at first but by the end we were dancing and playing hide and go seek (Escondidas). The oldest little girl was 6 and she was quite impressive with all the English she knew. Body parts, colors, numbers. After everything I said though she would say Que? I think it is harder for her to interpret my bad pronunciation, but we got through it.

Visiting with the lady who runs this daycare at her home was fun to. She doesn’t have as much interactions with Americans so was very interested in discussing the differences of food and costumes. I also found out that all the public schools are off of school this week for the census! I was kinda bummed that USAC didn’t apply for that.

I was going to take pictures of my house today but my mom said it was too dirty and I have to wait to later…haha.

  1. Your daycare over here sure misses you:( Herby said "we'll see her at Christmas". First I thought - oh, way before then. But then I realized, not really! You'll have to get them together before you go back to school.
