hi ...from free Belize
Well, just wanted to let you know that the 2 week National Teacher's Strike here in Belize is over. (Yahoo!) Well, actually it was a nice break..but it is also nice to be back in school. :)
oh yeah, some fun news.....a local television show (Shamax Productions) wanted to interview the Peace Corp volunteers in Belmopan. :) So they came to each of our work sites today. I thought they were going to come tomorrow! Anyway, I guess I handled myself okay. I didn't even get to look at myself before I went on camera, because there are no mirrors at the school, and I was a little nervous, but I guess we'll see everything on the film footage. My supervisor (the principal) was also interviewed on camera...and she was so kind to say the nice things about me:) (not that she wouldn't..but still..she said that I was a "blessing in disguise").
It was another good day. :) I've been having a string of really good days. :)
(summary) I've been hanging out with some friends who are from Mexico almost everyday!! It's cool..they say my spanish is getting better:) Last week(it was "strike week" = no school), we studied spanish/english, visited Belize City and saw "The Mythical Rainforest" play, made enchiladas and a WHOLE LOTTA beans, celebrated my friend Alma's birthday, rode a horse for 3 hours to a maya ruin (Xunantunich) and my Mexican friends came over a couple of times to help me finish the beans that we made 3days ago! Yaye! not one bean was wasted! haha! That was a LOT of beans.
Well, that's it for now.
I have to get really serious about my projects now. Time is ticking. A fellow Peace Corp volunteer keeps reminding me..."It's only 150 more days". (I say)..."Geez, okay already...you're stressing me out! I still have a bunch of projects to do!" In reality, I have like 4 months left! how time flies!
Till next time....I maybe on the next Oprah winfrey show! hahha. just kidding!
