dreams, visions or plans?

Dania wrote this as a comment on Aaron's blog... and I just love it. It shows that even if we try our best to succeed in life, the only way we can do it is if we let God lead us.

Uncomfortable situations

Yesterday I read Julie's post and it kinda made me think on what would I do on certain situations that could make me feel a lil unconfortable. Today I was in one of those 'uncomfortable situations'. What do you do when you are in an exam (as a student) and you notice that basically all your classmates are asking for questions or giving the answers to the rest of the class and the teacher does not seem to notice that at all? I hate when that happens! but oh well, I guess am not going to be the kind of student who tells the teacher that they are giving the answers.... so up to them! In the end, we all are going to get our 'rewards' if we do right, and our 'punishment' if we do wrong.

However, I still can't stand it!

a new version of the story

After our 10 days of Influenza Break, we are now 'back to school'. It still feels quiet awkward having to wear disposable face masks in classes and having to wash our hands with hand sanitizer almost every hour or before entering a building! But oh well, those are the conditions they gave us in order to get back to our regular activities and classes.

And we even have to wear a bracelet (see the pic of my hand lol) until Monday. Every student at the uni got one after the 10 days of the already mentioned 'break'. We had to go for an 'anti influenza test'(basically questions of where did you go on those 10 days, what did you do, etc.) and since they saw that I was clean lol I got the bracelet. We even started making fun of it as if we were inmates in a prision (because of the numbers).... mine is116848.

Anyway, I have 2 more weeks of school and then my summer starts! I'm kinda sad and disapointed because I'm going to stay here (AGAIN! :@) for the whole summer. I mean... it was quiet expected that I was going to stay, but I still had some hope that I could go somewhere... but oh well, that's my life I guess hehehe. But as I was saying the other day, it's one summer less in this place muahaha.

Oh, and here's a pic I just got from a friend hehe

I love this new version of the story > The 3 little pigs.

*enjoy it ;)

InfluenzaBreak

I found my hideout when boredom attacks during this 'InlfuenzaBreak' ► My room! and all I need is:

- My confi bed
- My huge laptop (Dell Inspiron 9400 15'')
- Wireless connection (very important! Needless to say facebook and MSN lol)
- My cellphone (just in case... but I haven't used it that much actually)
- Movies
- My homework (yes, I still have to do homework).

a little prayer please

Please pray for Mexico!! things are getting quiet complicated here... the Secretary of Health has announced that classes are canceled until the 6th of May because of the swine flu.

Time flies!

April is almost gone and then it comes May along with final projects, final exams, and at the end of the month my bro and my mom’s graduation (Vico finishes his Bachelor’s Degree and my mom her PhD). Then it comes the summer with intensive courses and lots of preparation ;) I think I will teach one or two English classes at the language school or take some intensive courses. After summer… OMG! Sara’s is going to be here!!! (hope I get to see her in August). Then it comes my time to go abroad (if I would have written this a week ago, it would have been a completely different story which included Thailand, but God has amazing ways of changing plans).

*I will talk about this later, when everything is clear enough to say it out loud. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Ok… getting back to the fact that we are still not in summer break and that school hasn’t finished yet. We had Moody Awards at the beginning of April (I blogged about this earlier) and that was basically the last activity of the Student Council. I feel relieved but at the same time I kind of miss all the meetings we had and all the stress hehe.

Almost all the members of the Student Council.

On my "spring break" (more like a long weekend) I went to a Master Guide Camporee. I had lots of fun and learned quiet a lot because this time I was part of the staff.

I started teaching English at the High School and it’s been a learning experience. I don’t have a big classroom (started with 10 students but 2 of them were expelled 2 weeks ago), and having a small classroom helps a lot when it comes to discipline. There are still other things to take in consideration, like the fact that I’m supposed to be teaching an “advance” class but most of my students can’t even understand when I give them instructions in English (however, I won’t lower the school work, which is not that much anyway).
Teaching there gives me more reasons why I want to work in a language school and not in a secondary or high school. It’s not that I don’t like it, but I do enjoy a lot more teaching at the language school. However, it looks like I will take a break from teaching English for a little while and do something I did not expect but which I think I will enjoy and will be a completely different but great experience.

Bach's Brandenburg Concert No. 3

We are going to play Bach's Brandenburg Concert No. 3 and I love it!! This will be the second time I play it, so I think it's going to be easier hehe. The first time I played it was long time ago, in my first year at the uni orchestra (I think I was in high school... not sure) and I remembered I had a hard time with that concert, but it was worth it.

Today I was falling asleep at the orchestra practice, and when we started practicing the Brandenburg Concert my sleepiness went away hehe.

*I just hope we play it this semester and not the next one 'cause I won't be here next semester :(
