What?
After the past 3 weeks of lounging around, wondering why I was still sitting around my room doing nothing, and hoping that someone would invite me to something, I've found myself slowly packing my schedule with random activities.
Careful what you wish for, amiright?
I mean, I'm not doing anything that is relevant and important. Still, it's something! This also means that I am getting into a bad bad habit of agreeing to do things without knowing what my schedule actually looks like... predominately because I do not have an agenda.
Derp derp.
Today, however, I did get to do one of those awesome cultural things-
ferria de gastronómica en un colegio.
Basically, every classroom cooks up a dish and then sells it. That's all. I, of course, did my best to taste everything and ended up spending a wee bit and not being able to eat lunch at my house afterwards from being crazy full. I had ají de gallina, ceviche, pastel de papas, and papa rellena. Seriously.
(I wish my internet were faster, but it takes about 5 minutes to post one picture and all the pics I wanted to post here were just food porn shots... not too important, but i'll try to post some other day)
On another note, here's a list of things I must do this week... partly to give you a taste, predominately to help get my brain in order:
1. Get the solicitude for the leadership camp to the alcalde and get it signed (hopefully)
2. Write up the syllabus for the Saturday youth group (we also need a name for ourselves)
3. Write up a survey for parents, including instructions to the professors.
4. Go to the health post! Seriously! What is up with that? Why have I still not gone??
5. Get the old group from JAEL together
6. Talk to the directors, see if I can get into that other school using new connection from today (profe of K-)
7. Teaching English tomorrow morning to my club, before 10am. Need to call my students about that.
8. Have a meeting with the leadership clubs in 2 of my site schools tomorrow, 10 am and 1:30pm
9. Have a meeting with the father at the church this Thursday at 8:30am, will take all day.
10. Organize and write up the presentation for the charla for parents this Friday.
11. Breathe.
Part of me feels like I'm working really hard on stuff that is not on my site... I don't know if that's ok, since I feel like I should really focus my time on where I am, but word is spreading that I'm around and other schools are taking advantage of my time here by coming to me. The schools around me... not so much... so I guess I'll go where I'm wanted for now, and work my way around here little by little~
Still, I think one of my big dream projects (those grandiose ideas that you get when you feel like you're on top the world, absolutely invincible, and capable of anything and everything. Basically, the life I lead in my overly inflated, fairly egotistical head) will be to form a youth junta (like a board, with the president and vice prez and all that) with those who live in the area, so that we can coordinate activities and projects all together, in a nice orderly fashion.
Because if there's one thing I love, it's efficiency and order... Two things that have lately been lacking in my life...

| There are a few work things in the way... but nothing gets in between me and dreamlandia (it's where i take stress and then proceed to smother it with fluffy pillows and blankets until it stops struggling against me) |
SLEEP! GLORIOUS SLEEP!
Miss you all, yes I'm doing alright, please don't worry <3
Love and Peace.
P.S. Sending texts here means you pay for each text. However, you can send a text asking the person receiving it to pay for it. The text you get will say "it's super urgent! are you willing to pay for it!?" tricking me into going, omg! yes, of course! only to find it's a kid saying, "yes, i got your message, thanks."
..... What the heck. Kids, I know you are excited that I am willing to text you, but I ain't gonna pay for you to send me silly messages... call me. You can call me FOR FREE because I'm paying to have this RPM. Why won't you use it!? What's the point!? Dunno what else to say, except I won't be accepting any of these collect texts and I really hope it is not urgent, because if you send me a text using your tongue because your arms have been chopped off by local pirates, but it's one of these stupid collect texts... Well, you're dumb because it's still faster to call me and you're losing a lot of blood, and you should probably be calling the hospital or the police or something before me. I'm flattered though.
That is all.
