Guatemala

As some of you might have heard, I'm in Guatemala
for the next three weeks. I'm living in Antigua and teaching
English in a school in San Pedro. It's pretty crazy to try
and teach English when I have so much difficulty speaking spanish
fluently, but I think that my students get a riot out of it.
My class has 40 students total... Just picture our whole
semester in one room. It's a little intimidating, but we have
good kids. I'll post pictures later, as right now I can not
figure out for my life how to connect my camera to the computer...
Hope you all are having a wonderful end to your school year!

"after the adventure"

hello all,

the other girl in my grade who went on a semester program this year (hmi) just showed me this beautiful (and oh so relevant) piece today. admittedly, it is a little belated. i miss you all!

I'm still here...

So, as some of you may know, I have not been able to blog because I haven't been able to figure out how to sign in. Since having figured out that the "Sign In" button is located in the upper-right hand part of the screen, I have felt like a complete idiot. I think it is appropriate, however, that this happened today, for I feel that it's necessary for me to write here at least once.

So first off, I miss all of you very much. There have been countless times throughout the day where I will say things such as "That's something we can all agree on" or "This soup is hothothothothot" and laugh to myself and nobody else gets me and thinks I'm weird for sitting in the corner with my soup laughing to myself...so, yeah, there's that. Also, News Flash to all of you out there, Semester 46 is nearly done with their semester! It seems like no more than a month has gone by since our semester and yet it is rapidly dawning on me that, indeed, our semester is a distant memory of the Chewonki staff. There have been so many times that I have worried that the staff there won't really remember me, and then I remember that if Ben Redman doesn't remember me, it's probably for the better.

A couple of shout-out's that I've forgotten to mention on Facebook:

Ben, when I read you and Orrin were "Friends with Ben E. Fits" I died laughing.

Aiden, some of your statuses are above my IQ level. Example: "Aiden Berkey is a leaf on the wind. Watch me as I soar."

Ashlee, every time I read anything you write, I laugh. This is not meant to be mean!!!!! (as many of you may think thanks to a recent mentioning of an incident involving a pair of rubber-soled shoes, a stove, and a cabin. I simply love the way you put a lot of your emotion into everything.

Tyler, oh, wait, you don't have a facebook

Corey, I laugh every time you are a Mexican. Also, even though that's not politically incorrect, doesn't it sound offensive to call someone a Mexican. Or a Jew? I can say, " Hey, Walker, you're a Christian." But I would be arrested by the NAACP if I said "Hey Walker, you're a Mexican Jew." Anyway, something for you guys to ponder...if that's what ya'll do.

Noah, "To lax or not to lax." Answer: Don't play lacrosse and don't refer to it as lax.

Eric, what does cheers mean at the end of a paragraph? Last time I checked, you're not English. Also, the funny John references on your birthday made my day.

To anyone I missed, and by my calculations that means a lot of you, I haven't forgotten. I simply don't have anything to say that is off the top of my head. Rest assured, however, I am thinking of you all.

Lastly, if anyone dares go to my Facebook profile, you'll be delighted to see a beautiful Maine sunrise. What you may not know, however, is that this is a photo taken by Hannah Cabot the last morning of our Semester. If you want to get all teary-eyed and think that the last time we were together, we saw that sunrise, well then I suggest you do it know. Anyway, I guess I'll be writing again sooner or later!

Cheers!

Oh, yeah, and Osama bin Laden's dead so that's something, huh?
