so yesterday i met with my new boss, anita, who hired me to work in the private school down the street (literally down the street like four minutes away at a leisurely pace). the school has classes no bigger than 19-20 kids, i will be teaching 8-9 year olds who may speak little or no english whatsoever. she handed me a stack of books to generate ideas of how to make up my lesson plans and tests, i'm actually becoming a teacher, holy crap. anyways i need to make up another list of questions and then be done with thinking about this and leave it to the weekend before to make up my first week of lesson plans. i need to start thinking of honduras, which is almost a week away and a huge expenditure. i'm glad it is all booked and ready but now i need to focus on the information at hand. additionally, i was contacted by an old friend from mexico who wants me to help him with creating canadian contacts for a realestate proposal. so many things have fallen into my lap, i'm feeling a bit like a juggler but i'm calm due to the fact that i know that i can handle it all. it was nice to go and beat my boyfriend at pool a couple times last night just to relax and i think i'll take my scuba books to the beach to just do a bit more relaxing today.
i forgot to mention my frustration with my bad luck in mexico culminated with a fall, more of a bail, steps away from jorge's house where i took myself out while running on an uneven part of concrete when i was running at dusk. as i hobbled back to jorge's i thought, wow this country must really not want me here. but after some ice, and some coninuous stiffness, i was able to have a nice jog yesterday, getting my blood pumping and feeling energized, ready to take on my next conquest.

Hi Sweetie,
Thanks for the great post. I'm sorry to hear about the fall, but the rest sounds all good. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.
Much love, Daddyo
