Talent show

The one thing we did get to do at the school we will be teaching at, is have an impromptu talent show by one of the classes and then lunch in the room with the students.
This girl did some act with what I believe are Chinese Yo-Yos. She did some pretty sweet tricks, including spinning two of the Yo-Yos at the same time. about 4 other students came up and sang or us or did some silly dances.
Then we headed back to the class room, collaborated on what we would be doing for the next few weeks and went home with our host families. Tiffany took us out to dinner at a coffee shop and we had a nice time talking and drinking coffee.
I'll try to keep these post a little more focused in the near future, but right now, things are just going so fast that I don't really have time to get everything down that I want to. Stay tuned, after the jet lag is gone I'll be a bit more coherent.

A little trip up North and back to the smell.

Wow, a lot has happened in the past few days. I really dislike not having the time to type in this blog. It may seem kind of lame, but I look at this blog as a form of meditation. A time where I can review the experiences that I have in a relaxing manner and try to understand what the heck has occurred from the last time that I updated it. Meditation may seem like a strange thing to say when I’m sitting in a comfy chair with a computer in my lap, but that is what I feel like when I am done, although I tend to still be a bit tight in the shoulders and lower back. Last time I updated, we were heading off to San Pedro. We were planning on leaving on Friday night, but we couldn’t get tickets until the next morning. What resulted was an impromptu hair cutting party for Jake. After that was a rousing game of cards with some amazing cards that Katie had. They all had breeds of cats on them, each card displaying a different breed. That’s 58 different cat breeds, including the jokers. I ...

Is it normal to fear the next meal?

I've survived the second day of school, and I have to say that I think I did better than yesterday, and that's all that I can hope for. Before I start taking about school, I would like to introduce you to my "Chilean Mother." She is one of the sweetest people that I have met, this is a picture of her that I took with my computer. I think she is trying to kill me. Jake and I arrived at home after school. We were both tired and ready to relax. She had prepared a simple meal for us of bread and luncheon meat. This was not the normal size of meal that we were use to it, but Jake and I were more than happy to have a light meal and just relax for the evening. I felt so good afterwards that I went out for a 20 minute run, one of the first that I had had in months. After taking a shower and relaxing upstairs watching "FAME", (think of a three way love child between American Idol, Big Brother and Bay Watch), it was 10:30 and Jake and I were about ready to go to...
