So, my classroom is about 90 percent ready, I went through all of the new program orientations, and I believe I'm ready to go for the new school year at Maya. What a great school with amazing, kind, and positive people. I like being in a school where positivity permeates throughout the halls. It's a feel good situation. Anyway, tomorrow is our welcome back party at our director's house. Apparently about 60 people are signed up to go.
I survived orientation, love the academic program, and am ready for my 10 students. yep I said it 10!!!! Russia, Argentina, Korea (of course), Guatemala, Mexico, the US, and England are where my students are from. I'm really excited!
Take it easy, I'm going to relax until tomorrow. I have to go to the bank tomorrow, do laundry, and just get ready...by the way I got a 100 percent on my final grad school capstone! Life is good!!!

A day of adventure
I checked out of the hotel today at 10 am and was picked up by Jennifer to go to my new house. We arrived and I unloaded my bags and immediately went up the road to school to get my Isuzu Trooper. I was finally going to drive in Guatemala. Of course, I forgot that it had a car alarm, so I set it off like 5 times throughout the day, but I'm learning. I had an orange crispy bowl at Applebee's and then went to Hiper Paiz (Guatemalan Walmart). I bought tons of household items for the kitchen/house. I then unloaded them and went back in for round 2 of food shopping. I bought tons of stuff, so I was happy with my purchases.
I finally moved in and unloaded everything included my clothes, etc. I put up my paintings and my rugs and other Mayan goods from Antigua, and fixed myself dinner. I'm home at last and enjoying my couch!
Orientation is in the morning! Gotta go to bed!
