Currently i am taking a break during our little festival today. Today and tomorrow we are celebrating the anniversary of our school. It has been open for 104 years now. Today and tomorrow we have just been playing games with the kids. I have been watching over some of the relay races. I did get caught in the middle of a water ballon fight, and i had to fight back the urge to go college mode and start an all out war. Then one of the kids had a football, so i got to play some pigskin with the chilean kids. It was fun besides the fact that they are terrible. Then again i understand that it is an American game and the idea of throwing a spiral is completely beyond them. Classes are going and we have a couple of meetings in the next couple of days to plan for the mission trip that we have at the end of January.
The weather is beautiful here and it is nice just to enjoy a little time outside. It seems to be a chilean custom to have music blarring during the breaks (recess) and on days like today it is in full force. I watched a group of 3rd graders dance for two and a half hours straight this morning. At this point just enjoying life and whatever it has to offer. Trying to stay a step ahead of my kids in the classroom (that is about all i can, due to the Chilean style of an absolute lack of planning). Yet, then again we all know that i am not a very good planner so i really can´t complain.
I hope all are doing well and enjoying themselves immensely. I am off to try and weasel myself into getting a free ice cream cone.
