Ok, so once again it has been a while since the last update, so time to catch up once again.
It is now exam week for 1st partial, meaning teachers are extremely busy. The year is already flying by and it is exciting getting to know my students better. We had fun this past partial studying The Giver and I love that my students this year are able to dig deeper into the books and bring things to the table that I don't even catch sometimes.
My cast was finally removed as well and the doctor said my arm looks good, so it is nice not having that giant green hindrance keeping me from finishing my schoolwork and doing simple tasks.
Honduras has been surprisingly cold recently (ok I guess I should clarify this one too because "cold" means it has been dropping to the low 70's during the day). Either way, it means jeans, long sleeve shirts, and sometimes even a sweatshirt if the breeze picks up. It almost feels like being in the states experiencing fall......but not quite.
For some reason I have been thinking a lot lately about what I am going to be doing next year after my contract with IST is up. I know June is a long ways away, but not knowing what is next is both scary and exciting. I know none of you will believe this, but the idea of coming back for a third year seems like an extremely viable option right now. This year has been so much better than last year that I actually really enjoy being down here in Honduras! Today as I was packing up my classroom I got kind of upset realizing that I might not be back to teach my 1st Partial materials one more time to a new set of kids. However, at the same time the idea of going to grad school and beginning my career in public relations/communications sounds equally enticing. I guess I will just have to wait and continue praying to see where I am supposed to be next year.
For now, I am satisfied with where I am at and I am taking things one day at a time, enjoying all Honduras has to offer!
