My Birthday Weekend
















Friday was my 24th birthday. Fridays are not really my favorite day because I teach an extra long elective class in the morning. I teach English Conversation for 160 minutes without a break. Conversation is a fun class but also a challenge to plan activities for that long and keep student's interest for that long. I go straight from that class to preschool and then kindergarten. Finally I have a break. After lunch I have 8th grade, 9th grade, and tenth grade English. Friday evening I went to the Green's for my birthday party! I recieved a pan and muffin tins from the Greens and a mini crock pot from the Lammaes! I was surprised by how many people were there, I didn't know anyone was coming.
The tradition here is to crack eggs over the head of the birthday person. Sooooo I got a bunch of eggs crushed on me . . . It wasn't as bad as last year. This time they were only on my head not my whole body. On Saturday morning I went to the gym with Rosie (the wife of one of the missionaries here.) Then I went home and took a shower and then went out with her again to the outdoor market, to HiperMas, (a store owned by WalMart and kind of like WalMart but not as cheap) and then to Subway for lunch.
On Sunday I went to church in the morning (I go to Pacto de Gracia/Grace Covenant.) After church I went to the Green's for lunch and spent the day at their house using their internet and working on my new computer.
