Back to warm weather, but missing the states.

I have been back in Honduras for almost a week now and still can't get over the fact that it is winter and yet so hot! Already in my first days back I was slathering on the sunscreen to try to save myself from getting a sunburn out on the soccer fields. It is fantastic!

It was hard getting back into the swing of things and the first day of school seemed to drag on forever, but I think I have finally adjusted my sleeping schedule so I will be ready to go this next week. I am kicking off Romeo and Juliet in my class this partial and have decided being a history teacher might have been a better profession for me because I absolutely love giving all of the background information on Shakespeare and the era in which he lived, even more so than actually teaching the material. I have a lot of great activities planned though and can't wait to have sword fights, a masquerade, and teach the kids Shakespearean insults (all in the name of good Shakespearean fun of course!).

On Wednesday I begin coaching a 5th-6th grade girls' soccer team (I have never done this before, but I am already looking forward to it) and will also continue working as assistant coach for the high school girls' soccer team.

Not much else new and exciting is going on, but I will post again with updates in the near future.

(P.S. I would like to say Happy Birthday to my mama, Becky Jones, and wish her a very happy day despite the fact that I can't be there to help celebrate. Love ya Mom!)
