Typical school morning (elliptical, a pinto breakfast, and out the door by 6:40). Today I again worked with the 4th through 6th graders and led somewhat of a review session because their English final is next week. Around 10, my professors came from San Jose to visit and check in with me. They told me I look “very content”, which is of course very true. It is hard to think I will have to leave this life in just a few days. After a nice school day I headed home and hung out with Maria and Jessica (the other lunch lady). They are two of my favorite ladies and so we had a wonderful afternoon of laughter and silliness. Jessica had figured out to get TNT (a cable channel) on her cable-less TV and so she came over and showed us how to wire our TV likewise. It worked and Maria was jumping up and down she was so excited to add a new cable channel onto or 4 other non-cable options. My oldest brother went to mass (first time someone in my family has gone) because Nancy, his major crush was going to be there. We all made fun of him for the rest of the night. Before dinner I helped my brother, Andres, with his homework of translating the story of Sleeping Beauty he was given in English into Spanish. We had a nice late dinner while watching Lord of the Rings on our new favorite channel TNT. The boys and I got into a pillow fight and laughed the night away. Our silliness even continued as we all climbed in bed as we retold our many inside jokes from ceiling-less room to ceiling-less room until eventually quieting down and falling asleep around 10.
