First things first

I just finished my first class of the new cuatri and I feel like a kid who just took her first spring bike ride after a long winter. I was a little nervous to step into my Teacher shoes again, but everything went well and I can´t complain.
My first and only Monday class is a group of 2nd year Gastronomy students. The class size is smaller than my first-years from last cuatri and the group´s English proficiency is understandably higher. The real challenge this cuatri will be adapting to my new schedule of 7 AM classes 4 days a week! Starting tomorrow I will be arising with the dawn (which will hopefully become a habit that I enjoy). I have been "training" for it, though, and I am now pretty used to waking up at around 6 AM. I will want to give myself a little bit more time than that, but I have additional motivation because on Mondays and Saturdays at 7:00 AM, I am going to be attending Yoga and Qi Gong classes at one of the local B&Bs, given by one of the professors of Mayan Linguistics and Culture from UNO. I went to my first Qi Gong class on Saturday and really enjoyed the centered feeling I had for the rest of the day. The best part is that I feel like I´m finally becoming part of the type of community that I have been looking for since I got to Valladolid: a community of healers, positive thinkers, and soulful practitioners of hardcore gentleness.
More soon...
