valentines day

Did you guys know Britney Spears was committed?

I did, because I got a fantastic package today from my mom with the February 18^th issue of People Magazine.Yesssssss!I also got hair clips AND mini packs of chips ahoy AND Valentines Day cards AND Mucinex (I was desperate for this because my chesty cough has been very unproductive, if you want to know) AND dove chocolate and little Crystal Light water bottle packets.It was a good day.

Before the actual Confirmation and confirmation partying (for those only tuned in to see Teachers, Preists and confirmation candidates gone wild) took place, we had to decorate the church.

(I am super serious about this bow)

Not thrilled about me and my camera

My important (and tall) job of hanging curtains, then taking them down because they weren’t ironed, then hanging them back up

Parties!

We were invited to a bunch of confirmation parties in the village, and made it to about 6. I ate 4 dinners, and like, 10 pieces of cake (I took them for the team, okay? It would have been rude to not accept :)

Week 6

I can’t believe I’ve been here for 6 weeks!

And I can’t believe I forgot to tell you that we had a tremor this week. I think it was Monday or Tuesday morning. I got up because i felt my bed shaking, and (funny line of logic here, beware) I thought someone was ironing outside my room, that the ironing board was bumping the wall, and the wall was shaking the table, and the table was shaking my bed. But when I looked, no one was ironing, and the ironing table was about 3 feet from the wall…

Later I learned it was a tremor. That made more sense than an animated ironing board, but, you know, I was sleeeeeeping.

Here are some pics of classes this week.Every morning the kids line up and sing the Belize National anthem while raising the Belize flag.Then they do morning prayers together and begin class.I can almost sing the anthem myself…

I have know idea what’s going on here, but obviously it was VERY funny…

On Valentine’s Day, I went with the Standard 6 students to a science bee in Los Tambos.San Marcos school won second place, out of about 8 schools.

Think if this is what it looked like outside your classroom window

The bus

In the afternoon, we did an art lesson in each class and made Valentine’s Day cards.

My two valentines

On Friday night, Santa Familia school had a Valentines Day Festival. Lots of food, games and dancing…

The girls

The boys

The teachers

And these jokers

My Santa Familia Valentines

Oh, and PS: My phone card didn’t work. I guess on double minute days, everyone tries to call and the network gets jammed :( So much for my $20 worth of happy phone time.
