ENGLISH AND WORMS!!!

so yesterday i had my first two english classes. in the morning i taught the young ones, up to 12 anos and in the evening the teenagers.
haha it was awesome. made me feel like i was actually doing something for a change. the are learning the alphabet and simple saludos like
hello
my name is
what is your name?

it was pretty awesome. we played a bunch of games and stuff and i think they had a good time.
they are about 1.5 hours each, monday and wednesday, in the morning and evening.
think the course will be about 10 weeks, but not exactly sure. the computer guy wants that we finish the computer course and english course at the same time.

also i talked to the head agricultor guy, who happens to be my neighbor, about the lombricultura, using worms to make better fertilizer and i think he really liked the idea. i just read up on the topic and i think we are going to prepare a charla, presentation, to give to the farmers of this one nearby farming village. im excited for this because i really like being out in the country and i think this will be a great opportunity to help do create something sustainable, that they will be able to keep doing after i am gone. and plus its a little more exciting and unique than teaching english.


in december i will be going to brazil with the highschool here. its a 26 hour bus ride, then 3 days in brazil, than another 26 hour busride back...haha will see what happens.


last night this girl erme left. i have like four really close friends in this town and she was one of them. i was really sad. cried a little bit. its going to be really diferent here without her. she moved across the country to go live in the city with her sister. nobody knows why and i dont think any of us actually believed that she was going to go through with it. but she did and it kinda sucks. but takes balls to do something like that here so i guess i am proud of her...


bueno, thats all for now

love you
