End-of-the-month Rantfest

The past week has been action-less for me. Last Saturday, I spent the morning with Andres and Juan Diego, had lunch at their house, and just played a game of running-around-the-house-with-a-toy-truck with Juan Diego the whole afternoon until I realized I was sick. So before dinner, I headed home and decided to rest. The kind boyfriend prepared pasta for dinner, and since I was out of pasta sauce, he used cream of chicken instead. He also made mashed potatoes but when it got to me, it was already cold as ice. But it was good anyway, so no problemo.

Sunday I woke up feeling worse. And starving. So I braved the kitchen and made myself some fried rice, tuna and fried eggs. It was amazing, since it was also the first time I successfully cooked rice. Thing was, though, it took me like an hour to finish such a simple meal cause I kept on sitting down to rest. Oh, it was terrible.

So... Monday I ended up missing work because my throat continued to throb so badly which in turn gave me a massive headache. Later in the day the pain started to subside, so just so I could say it was a productive weekend, I headed out in search for a new apartment. Now guys this is another story.

The owners of the house have been planning to sell the property since months ago, but they told me it was something uncertain. Sunday night they suddenly confirmed it, out of nowhere, and told me to start looking for a new place before the 10th of December. Talk about being spontaneous. Now I'm still looking, and I hope I find a good one soon. *fingers crossed*

Now back to my event-less weekend. I was supposed to teach a class last Monday. This would have forced me to wake up at 5:30 in the morning DAILY. Good thing it was cancelled! But yesterday, my boss abruptly approached me and asked me to accompany her to a meeting. She brought me to this conference room, and inside were English professors and coordinators. I was so scared cause I thought they would reprimand me regarding my constant absences! LOL. Apparently, they just wanted to orient me with my new work schedule: Mondays Tuesdays and Thursday I need to teach a class from 7-12 (hello 5:30 alarm). Wednesdays and Fridays will be from 10:30-12 (not bad). Ten minutes after that meeting, they sent me off to start teaching a class withouth even getting to prepare. But it went well, thank God. I just really abhored the girl at the back of the classroom applying lip gloss while we were having a reading exercise. If I were in the Philippines (where I know I would have the right to do this), I would have thrown my huge boot with fur to her face.

Today I was asked to take over a level 2 class. At first it didn't sound good to me cause since the level isn't so good, I thought I would be forced to speak in Spanish and explain everything in Spanish. But no! They understood me even if it meant repeating the same sentence five times. And they're all very funny students, I love them :3

Currently I'm waiting for AIESEC to give me the fruits of my labor (aka salary). I hope I get it today or tomorrow so I can spend the weekend well as I deserve to!
