It's been a cloudy day in San Cristobal today, which made me feel right at home. I woke up around 10 and went off to say goodbye to one of the teaching volunteers, which was really sad. I returned home at around 12ish for lunch and discovered I just wasn't hungry at all. I told the lady I wasn't that hungry and asked if I could just have a small plate, but either something got lost in translation or a small plate means 'huge', for I was still produced with a mountain of rice, yet again. In percentages the each meal is around 70% rice, 20% meat or fish and 10 % salad. I hate leaving food on a plate, especially here where it's probably seen as sacrilege if you don't have at least 2 plates of food per meal. I thus soldiered through 'man vs food' style until I had finished and then went and had a power nap to recover.
At around 2 pm I walked into town to prep for class, which I have just finished doing. I'm going to hit them with the future tense and see how they handle it. It's piss easy so I will be concerned for their mental ability if they fail to grasp it. Then depending on the time left might play a few games of hangman, seeing as its friday and that. They're also going to love me because having told them to get ready for a test on monday there now isn't going to be one. However I spent time last night working out who to move up as we are creating an extra class for slightly more advanced students. Not sure how they'll feel moving up but they're going to have to deal with it. So it is now in the school office where I am writing to you lovely people. I'm looking forward to my passion fruit smoothie which is waiting for me at 6 pm when I finish teaching for the day. Might head to Bar Quero later for a couple of games of pool. Who knows. I am just that nutty.
That's all I have for now folks. Until next time.
