Welp, I am running out of things to report really...hmm, Chris left on Thursday for the states...he will be gone for 10 days or so..so its just Loryn and I. Few tribulations these past few days but nothing major. The kids got me sick...duh. Thats what happens whn you give up childcare to work at a bar for a year or two, your immune system goes down...but anyways, I didn't go to school on Friday because I was bed ridden with fevers all day. Pretty boring, but I was able to read The Shack start to finish in one day so...there's that. Luckily the doctors gave me antibiotics before they left and by Sunday I was super bored and couldn't wait to get back to school today. Then today I broke my motorcycle again..sigh. When Bill gets down here in a few weeks and sees what I have done to his bike he is gonna kill me. But hey, that's what you get for sending a girl to a foreign country and after a 20 min lesson say, "okay here's your bike!" Specifically today I dropped the bike down a small hill..whoops...and the front-end brake and the gas handle were broken, but it was still driveable. Luckily, at lunch I mentioned to the kid I've been tutoring in English that my bike was broken and he fixed it. So the gas handle works now! Woohoo! As for the brakehandle, I can get that repaired for 150 pesos in town some Saturday (about $4 give or take). So yeah, I guess that's it. Loryn and I are busy getting ready for her departure for the states in October when I have to lead class for two weeks by myself. My biggest fear is that the parents won't want me because I don't speak as much Spanish as Loryn. My second biggest fear is driving her car on busy roads...eek! Dominicans are crazy drivers! We will see how it goes. We are arranging a parents meeting with us before she goes so hopefully noon will have a problem with me. For the most part the parents are super sweet and thrilled that we are there to help their kids, whether I speak good Spanish or not it is still helping their children.
Alrighty that's about it...gotta get on facebook and do stuff for school. Talk to you next week!
