Full Day of School!!!

We finally had our first full day of school today! I know it doesn't sound like anything to be really excited about, but after only having my students in class for 26 minutes a day, it was nice being able to actually have them for a full period and be able to explain things to them in detail instead of talking as fast as possible to try and teach them something in our short amount of time.

This was also the first sign that things may be on the way towards returning to normal. Wishful thinking? Maybe. But at least things are calming down a lot.

I spent most of my day trying to convince my students to do the assignments instead of asking me tons of questions about soccer and who my favorite teams are (they are still perplexed that a girl knows so much about soccer!), but overall, it was a fantastic day.

To conclude the day, we had our first Bible study meeting with the girls in my neighborhood (there are about 8 of us who decided to get together to have a Bible study each week). It was a great time of destressing after a challenging couple of days and it was great hearing that all of us are dealing with the same stuff being teachers and living in Honduras. We are going to be rotating houses each week so that one house doesn't get stuck hosting the Bible study all the time, which will be fun to finally have people over at our house.

(P.S. - remember the bug infestation we have in our house that I talked about a few posts back? Well I just went to eat some delicous pastry type things I had bought from the local panaderia and they were full of ants!! Don't worry, I didn't let the ants get away with stealing my food - I ate it anyways, but I had to flick a lot of bugs off first! Oh the joys of having a house that is full of cracks and impossible to seal completely :)
