Hey girl, hayyyyyyyy

Helllllo friends! Okay, so I realize that I probably have the easiest access to internet, but I've been waiting to post until something of significance actually happened. Which it still hasn't, but whatever. Although the first picture may appear totally posed, it actually wasn't. I'm just that great of a teacher. And the second picture is from the girls' first basketball game today, which was exciting. They lost, alot, but I was screaming and jumping up and down so much cheering. Our side of the bleachers were packed with all the girls family members - which are the most vocal fans ever.

The 11 hour days here are hectic at best, but I'm getting to a point where I think I'm used to how crazy things are around here. While I got threathened by one of my students last week, I really do love them, and I know that they feel the same about me. I love the community here. The culture is so different than I've ever known and they teach me so much everyday. One of our teachers unfortunately had to leave the school and it shook the girls so bad. I had to deal with 28 sobbing girls for two days. It was hell. Drama here is the usual. In addition to being their religion teacher (which is my favorite part of the day), I'm also in charge of the lunch program, basketball detention, homework time, and the programs after-school. So yeah, I am padding my resume like woah this year with all the shit they throw at me. We had our Christmas party last night, which was really awkward/fun. I love the young people I work with. I'm also invited to Nativity Prep's (the school that the teachers I live with work at, its the boys school) christmas party which I am looking forward to. Its at a country club, and I actually get to dress up and eat real food, which is rare around here. I don't really go out too much, just the teachers I live with or the development director (whos 25) at our school. The convent recently got wii so thats what I've been up to. I hurt my back badly last month from playing wii boxing (and losing horribly) every night. We got guitar hero too and i pretty much suck. i sit an inch away from the tv and my roommates just make fun of how horrible I am. One of my roommates forced me to read that twilight book that every american teenager seems to be obsessed with, and I'll be honest, it's nothing to write home about. The girl in the book pissed me off cause she's so stupid and in love with a vampire, and she's cool about that. Not that any of you would read it, but its awful. Umm, thats whats up with me.
