Slight Change in Plans

So quite a bit has changed since my last post.  Those two students I had?  One dropped the program after 2 weeks because she missed her old school.  The other got expelled 3 weeks after that.  Since I didn't actually have a class to teach anymore, the administration moved me to another one of their schools in a different city, Choluteca.  I just got here about an hour ago.  I'm basically back to where I was almost 3 months ago now.  I don't exactly know what I'll be teaching.  I don't know when I'll start teaching.  I don't know the school.  I don't know anybody here.  I was dropped off at the house of a woman that I can rent a room from, but I'm not sure if I'll be staying here or not.  It's also taken me less than an hour to realize how good it was to have Jen around for company (and to help with Spanish).

My panic aside, I'm fairly optimistic about this change.  While I'm still teaching outside of early childhood, it will be good to have students a few years younger than the teenagers I'd been working with.  It will also be good to have a normal, full class instead of just one or two kids.  Plus, this city (at least what I've seen of it) reminds me of a suburb that I would find back home.  It's not huge and not small.  There are a few fast food places.  It seems sort of quiet and a little more pleasant than Catacamas.  The only drawback is that it's really hot.  Like, uncomfortable with this laptop on me right now kind of hot.  Looking forward to only having cold water in the shower kind of hot.  Sitting in your underpants in front of the fan and still hot.  I'm thinking, though, that I'll just get used to it after a couple of weeks or so... sort of like the rooster outside my window in Catacamas.  This is doable.

  1. Is it terrible that I'm really happy he got expelled?
