Started work yesterday. I'll have 7 groups, three of them with more than 30 kids. Grades from kinder to 6. It's going to be hell, but I'm actually looking forward to the challenge.
Not much to say, I've been too busy with that, and nervous as hell to actually do anything important. But I'll be fine, right? I can do it. I mean, that's what I like and studied for. No reason to be nervous... right?
Haven't been online much this week. Which annoys me to no end, since the net was getting better. But getting ready and buying last time things (I'm broke as hell) was so tiring that I ended up falling asleep early. Then, I'd get up at an ungodly hour in the morning, checked the net once and fell asleep right after that.
Hopefully, I can go back to some normal net time in this days.
In other news: I am getting a new cellphone with me first check. What good is a phone that won't ring, won't let you make calls but will tell you how many calls you've missed? I'm afraid of signing another contract, the plan I have doesn't exist anymore (which should tell you how old my phone is) and I don't want to change it.
My car has something loose. Or maybe it needs oil. Can't remember when I checked the oils and it's been a really long while since I had the money to check them, so maybe it's that. Plus new tires. And my sister left one of the windows opened the other day and I'm afraid roaches got inside. I have a phobia, so I KNOW they are there. Even if I can't see them. Specially cause I can't see them. *cries*
And in bad news: Someone got shot the other day. Don't know him, don't want to know him, but things are back to not being so good in the town. Gotta remember to not go out alone after 5PM. I live in a relatively peaceful place, but to get from my house to Humacao I have to pass the hot zones. Usually, I don't care, but it's times like this that you remember they're not exactly known for their good deeds. They're stealing stuff in the middle of the day too.Things are really bad on the money side when the stealing reaches the Urb. I live in. And they've stolen things at least two times in the last month. And the other night I had to call the police cause behind my house, at like 1:30 AM, two guys starting fighting over a woman and threatening to kill each other.
It's sad when that sort of stuff does not really scare you. What scared me was my sister peeking through the windows and speaking loudly when me and my brother told her to get down from there cause they could see her watching them. (We had the lights on and there are no curtains, so everyone can see inside. We have the lower windows closed, so she got on top of a table to watch.) People have killed each other for less, and right now you have to assume everyone has a gun. It wouldn't be the first time someone got killed by watching through a window. And yes, I know I'm sounding pessimist, but that's how I am. When I called, the police told me they already knew and hanged up on me. They came like an hour and a half later (and I know the trip couldn't take more than 15 minutes.) and they had already stopped fighting.
