And it was disgusting.

I haven’t written in awhile, so I figured it was time to update this. Sometime after my last entry, I was sick to my stomach for three days. And after that, I started to feel more content here. I feel closer to my friends and roommates.
Also, I feel more confident with my job. The kids are so adorable, and some are already making progress!! It’s so encouraging. This morning, I got back from a run and saw one of my preschoolers. He ran up to me and gave me a huge hug! I love him.
And I’m forming some good relationships with them and the kids in my section. My job still has it’s ups and downs, but luckily no one has hit me really hard in the face. Right now, I work with 14 kids, and am slowly going to add some more to my caseload.
Yesterday no one had work because it was Día del Artista (Artist Day) here at the home. It was really cool – some of the kids had really impressive artwork for sale. They also sang songs and performed dances. They were adorable!
We have a lot of holidays here, especially in September. September 15 is Independence Day. I’m really excited to see how they celebrate. Apparently we go with the kids on a 10 kilometer bus ride, and some people run/walk with a torch outside the bus. We have two other days off of work in September. School ends in the middle of October and begins again in January. I’ll continue to work with my normal schedule during the summer. They also have some summer school classes for the kids.
My friends and I have been relaxing on the weekends. Sometimes we go to Antigua, the old capital, to go out at night. There isn’t really too much else to say right now; I’m still taking the sign language class (my boss is teaching it) and I love it!
I hope all is well with everyone! xoxo
