somewhere under the sky

well

here i am...
i don´t know why it published two of the last entry. i must really be lost.
let´s see...i´m pretty much done with TEFL. tomorrow i have a grammar test, which i expect will be as easy as the first, and then finito. last thursday night was my teaching for 2 hours slot. it went well i think, or rather nothing went wrong. i felt myself learning as i went along, which is a good thing. and i was completely exhausted at the end of it, ready to collapse, which is also a good thing. it means i gave my students energy. one of my observers says she is always hungry after she teaches. tomorrow we have the goodbye party for them. thursday is our goodbye party. tonight i´m eating dinner with the ladies of the office, who have all become good friends in the past months.
oh yes, over the weekend we went out to a small town in the countryside and gave a lesson for two hours. my group did a role play in a restaurant setting and once the kids caught on they had a blast doing it and that was cool-to see them interacting and enjoying it. other than that i´m a little like, why do these people need english? it´s such a small town. the main reason is for those who work in tourism there. which is a credible reason. i don´t know...i´ve got lots of opinions on teaching english.
sunday night i said goodbye to my mom´s sister and she started to cry, which was completely unexpected. so i started to cry too. other than that i´m still trying to keep my mind as far away as possible from the thought that this is all almost done. which sometimes works.
on friday i go to saraguro and i´ll stay there until wednesday. wed i´ll catch a bus to cuenca, eat with and say goodbye to my family and then catch a bus to quito. my plane leaves early thursday morning (the 3rd).
i don´t have much else to say at the moment. i don´t know if i´ll write again before i leave. if i do, it´ll be before i leave for saraguro. so take care everyone, hope all is going well. much love.
