All over the place

This is the third time that I am writing this post. Maybe today I will actually post it.

So many things have happened this month that one, I don't even remember all the details and two, you would be reading a 5,000 word recap of February. Too much.

I moved. Finally. And it was an ordeal in which I almost decided was not worth staying in Colombia for. I remember all the details of this event, but I am not going to rehash them here for your sake, and for mine. But I survived, I am no longer homeless, and the new casa is working out pretty well so far. I have five other roommates, am much closer to work, and have a rooftop terrace (for those few days when it isn't raining).

Rachel visited! Despite having to move, staying at Scott's worked out really well and we had a great time. Showing her all the cool things about living here was actually a nice reminder for myself. I made a nice to do list and we successfully accomplished everything on it plus.

I am officially out of training and have been teaching classes for the entire month. I have 7am class every morning (I get under 6 hours of sleep every night... it's pretty brutal) and then my high school classes in the afternoon. And I LOVE my high school class. I teach 9-11th graders in Level 6 (the highest level) and I think they are enjoying my class as much as I am enjoying teaching them. It is such a difference from last year and I actually feel like my hard work is paying off. Weirdly, my corporate class is more of a challenge. It is not easy teaching adults, especially ones that get cranky when you assign homework or tell them they have an exam. And no one ever nods their heads in approval when I explain something and usually just end up staring at me giving me some odd and confused look which somehow means they understand. But even though they complain about doing work, they gave me a really good rating this week so that makes me happy.

So I guess that's the month in a nutshell even though a million other things happened. February would have been great as probably twenty different posts, but I guess I've been a little bit preoccupied lately. I apologize for slacking, but life has taken some interesting turns so expect more blogging soon.
