hello again

Hello again. It´s been a while. I apologize for my lack of updating but after vacation last week I have been super busy this week teaching twice as much as normal. Whew! At least it´s Saturday and after working this morning, I have at least tomorrow off.

Anyway, vacation in Cuenca was pretty nice. The city itself it totally beautiful. Unfortunately though because we were there during holy week, a lot of things were closed so we weren´t able to see any museums or anything like that. After 4 days, I was ready to get back to Loja just because we had nothing left to see. Thankfully though Cuenca has a plethora of international resturants that aren´t available in Loja. We had sushi one night, I had an awesome salmon dish another night and so on and so forth. Delicious! I uploaded a bunch of pictures to Facebook from vacation and will put some on here or on google photos when I get another chance.

This past week was for the most part... exhausting. Teaching at Colegio Iberoamericano is tough because the students first of all, don´t pay attention in general and secondly, because I´m a substitute teacher, there are even worse. The kids themselves are pretty cool as far as I can tell, but they just aren´t so good at being diligent students. A couple people in the classes told me they wish I could stay and be there teacher after I finish this next week and explained that I really don´t want to stay just because no one behaves. The school campus is really cool though so it´s nice to be able to bring the classes outside and just hang out for a bit and get to know some of them. The teen boys are pretty much just inappropriate in their comments and whatnot, but it´s all in fun.

The weather is beautiful today. I washed my clothes on the roof earlier this afternoon and surely it´ll all pretty much dry by now because the sun is so hot. Lovely. I will say though that I´ll be glad to get back home where I can enjoy the luxury of washing my clothes and drying them whenever I want. I have brought my clothes to a luandromat here where it gets washed, dried, and folded for me which is nice but too costly to do regularly.

Happy Saturday!
