Isaiah 41:10

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." -Isaiah 41:10

This verse is what has gotten me through the past few days. Since Saturday it has been an emotional roller coaster. Mostly going down a hill really fast and wanting to throw up... to me that is the worst part. Luckily, I am on my way back up to the top... excited, nervous, and anxious to see what is going to happen next.


I've been working nonstop. It is pretty difficult. To be honest, I would not recommend moving to another country, where they speak a different language to begin your first job... EVER. It has been challenging. I try to explain to my students every day the difficulty of knowing the exact grammar type something is. You know how to speak the language, you know what is right and what is wrong, however you may not know the name of it. I feel like that is my life constantly. Yes, I know whether what you said was right or wrong... but I have no idea if that was an auxiliary verb or an adjective. It's just humanly impossible for me. 


I started teaching a beginner today. Talk about hard! He is about 60 years old and I think it is just fantastic that he is learning English. It was very difficult to communicate with him. My Spanish is so so and when he asked about Papa and Feepapa in the pictures, I think I might have said "I killed him". Sooooooo if I go to jail, you now know why. hahah I also asked him what he liked to do... his response "Pamela Anderson". I have a feeling this is going to be a veryyyyyyy interesting year!


I am so tired right now... actually all the time. Maybe it's because it is FREEZING here. Just so you know... the moment any of you start posting about the beach and laying out and how tan you are... you're getting deleted ASAP. It's so cold here. I am in a hoodie, sweatpants, and fuzzy socks. Talk about terrible! I have class at 8am tomorrow, so I have to wake up around 6:20. Needless to say I am about to go to bed! 


There is a big holiday weekend this weekend. I don't have to work on Monday and Tuesday :) Hopefully I'll have some more pictures and will have time to write some more!


love you all :)
