Day 6; And the Time Keeps Flyin' By . . .

It feels as if I got here months ago, but it's really only been 6 days. And it also feels as if Monday were happening today. It's all very confusing.

Today at English Camp my team had water bottle and snack duty. Our schedule said we would be free most of the day, but in reality we were free for about 1.5 hours out of 7. Not bad at all, but tomorrow I think we only have 1/2 hour free the entire time. That's fine by me, I would much rather be doing something instead of sitting around waiting for the next job.

Water bottles isn't really that hard of a job at all, but it's very time consuming considering there's 100 plus bottles to fill and 7 on a team. That was just in the morning before the kids came, but then later on we had snack duty. Today's snack was "dirt with bugs." Simply chocolate pudding with 2 gummy worms and chocolate cake on top. I stayed as far away from the chocolate as possible, though, just separating the pudding tubs from another. It was actually really fun watching the kid's faces as they found the gummy worms. Some poor girl actually thought we were giving them real dirt and worms and was kinda upset.

Everything else is going pretty well, I'm definitely not as tired today as I have been. I'm roughly a mile ahead of schedule in running, which is very exciting. Even though I've decided against longer runs while I'm here, I may reconsider if I can run on Friday since it'll be a lot cooler here then it has been. We'll see, I still need roughly 20 more kilometers this weeks. I'll be happy with 15 more, though.

That's another thing. I'm getting decent at the metric system! Distance measurements I've been fine with, but temperature and others have been more difficult. But I suppose since I've been so immersed it's helping a lot.

My Spanish, too. Obviously I won't be jumping levels while I'm here, but I'm pretty sure it's better than nothing. Leila, the mother of the house, gave me a Junie B. Jones book, and I understand it for the most part! Pretty exciting stuffs. =]
