On the Spicier Side of Life

I have arrived in Puebla.

And even though I have been here for two days, it already feels like a week.

We've mostly been organizing the discombobulation that is our school which means:

- Organizing the school supply closet
- Cleaning the desks, chairs, and walls. Thats right WALLS
- Making all of the necessary charts and posters needed for opening exercises
- Deciding who is teaching what levels
- Walking around like chickens with our heads cut off every once in a while
- Taking short breaks to chill on the patio because the weather here has been absolutely phenomenal!


My first meal in Mexico.
It's thick corn chips sitting in a type of salsa verde sauce (way spicy) drizzled with what I think is the Mexican equivalent of sour cream.

It wasn't so bad! I couldn't eat all of it because it was really spicy!

Thank you, dear friend.




I apologize for the awkward expression. My face doesn't always look like this, I was just a little bit scared...


Anyway, there is much more to tell you and I have much more pictures, but I am currently a little bit swamped with having to practically outline an entire semester for my class and pioneer the curriculum because no one in my program seems to have a clear idea of how my class is to be organize. Fun, right? I

I'm actually REALMENTE excited. 

Monday we get to meet the kids and start class!!

Nervous?

Why yes. Yes, I am.
