The day goes on...

I think I figure out why I´m not feeling well! I think it has to do with all of the exhaust I´ve been inhaling, since that´s the overwhelming scent of Boquete...that and dehydration. Luckily, I´m beginning to feel better, but still have a lingering headache.

I got out of Spanish class about an hour ago and am really learning a lot. For only $15/hr I´m getting private lessons, so I can go at a pace that works for me. Tomorrow I don´t have class, since my teacher´s child has a doctor´s appointment, but then have a 4 hour class for my last day, Thursday. Everyday, I do have the free lesson I get from working at the school and let me tell you, I know my colors now! Oh yeah, and how to say, "Repeat, in English."

Since I have a free day tomorrow after school, I think I´m going to rent a scooter in the morning, take it up to school, then scoot around all day to see the sights that are on the outskirts of Boquete. There are so many things to see, so I think I´ll pack a lunch to take with me, so I don´t have to worry about finding something to eat...mmm...bread and water, yummm...kidding!

I´m having a hard time deciding what to do for class tomorrow. I´m afraid that body parts may be too hard, but also don´t want to bore the older kids with my lessons (since I have the same lessons for all the kids in the school). Hmmm....maybe I´ll do food instead. I really wish I had my computer here, so I could make a really good PowerPoint for the kids, but that may have to wait until I get back, then email it to Kaytee to put on the computers there.

I´m finding it amusing that everyone´s talking about the weather here in Boquete (the locals). I keep hearing that it´s hot, considering that it´s just the beginning of the rainy season, but the head never really bothered me until today, when it was overcast. I´m not sweating as much as I was in Panama City by any means, but am now at the point where I wish that I could just do some laundry. I think I´m on cycle two of most of my clothes, but since I only have 3 full days left, it´s not worth the hastle of trying to figure out how to do get a load of laundry done. Until then, I´ll just have to manage feeling kinda gross. Mom and Dad, have fun smelling me when you pick me up from the airport! You may not want to get too close! :)

Well, I better get back to preparing my lesson for tomorrow!
