thats right everyone. Brian is cheating on me with Chipotle. I guess I really cant compete. Chipotle is there and available, whilst I am far away and most definitely not available. He had just better never go there alone again when I get back or I might get jealous......
So a few business things to take care of. First of all, MAD decided for some unknown reason to suspend mail going to the USA for " weeks, from Nov 18th through today, Dec 8. so the following people have letters in the mail that should have gone out a long time ago and will get to their humble abodes sometime between xmas and the first part of Jan (unless in the last week you got a letter from me then never mind): Diana, Hanna, Jenn, mom and dad, grandpa, joe, sally, erin, richard and dolores, and i think thats it. there are some people (whose names i wont mention except there intials begin with K, R and G) who havent written to me yet. just to throw it out there. also thank you to my Parnets and Diana for packages! (Brian yours hasnt come yet but thank you in advance!)

Happy Birthday to all my Nov/Dec Bdays! Rachel, Bebe, Chrissy, Corliss, Becca, and if I left you out Im sorry! its hard to think on the spot!
so I gave my finals this last week to all my kiddies and my 2nde class did well and my 6eme did not. Whats depressing is that most of my students failed an exercise that they had seen at least twice, if not three times before. ugh. I dont know what to do with them. I honestly dont think I can lake the tests any easier then they already are. my 2nde kids are smart so they will get harder tests next trimester, with an emphasis on reading comprehension and writing. joy! I am glad this trimester is over and i have time to breath. it was a stressful 3 months. I had to get my house organized, my lesson plans done, try and fit in, and not explode all at the same time. I am excited for my month breather. beach here I come!
I leave tomorrow to head to Tana then on Sunday its off to Mantasoa for training. Im there a week then on the 18th or 19th its off to farafangana, where I will get ride of my sock tan. not that its not attractive of course. I will be teaching an english club for the elected officials of the town while im there so that should be fun/interesting. i will be there till about new years but new years itself i will be in Fianar. I am just really excited to speak english and see friends and eat good food and have a beer or two and not feel bad. small victories.
I dont really have much else to say at the moment. I will try and post pics later this month, if I can, so everyone can see where I live. i will be able to check my email again in like é weeks so if you have anything send it my way! peace!
