Changes

Today is Tuesday August 5th.
Like everything in life, my schedule is constantly changing. Brian and I have just been given a workshop in which we are teaching the teachers at the school English. It felt weird as it was teaching English to people that were only 3 to 4 years younger than i am. But now we are going to be teaching teachers that are up to 40 years our senior. We were also presented with the opportunity to help head up a new program similar to Big Brother. It would be creating a program in which the high school kids would spend time after school with the younger kids that come from troubled families and who don´t want to go home. I am excited about the possibility and i think that it should be beneficial for everyone.
Of course we are also having troubles acquiring our visas. It is a mess of political tape to get them so we have to go tomorrow to the international police station to apply for something i am not quite sure. I am being intergrated into the school which is nice. Brian and i split the grades, where i will take 7-8 grade and high school and he will have the younger kids. I do not speak Spanish to the level that Brian does so i am unable to answer a lot of the questions of the little kids (chiquititos). The older kids, have a better understanding of English so i am more beneficial.
I think i am starting to get sick but it makes sense that it would happen moving to a compoletely different environment. Plus we have been going about a mile a minute so it was just a matter of time before i crashed. I basically spent all day Sunday sleeping and resting.
If anyone wants to have a look at the school´s website it is as follows
