deja vu...plus some things new





Well, this cuatri I was given the choice of working with the same students I worked with during my first cuatri at UNO, or working with the other half of each group. I chose to work with the same students because, to me, it seems an opportunity to further develop the existing relationships I have with them. (And I don't have to learn new names or discover who needs extra help the hard way.) My schedule is the opposite of what it was last cuatri. I work from about 12 or 1 pm to 8 or 9 pm every day. It's a bit of deja vu to leave class with the same students, at the same time I used to leave class during my first couple months in Mexico...Of course, some things are different. I am going home to a different apartment that I really enjoy (see above photos), I am working closely with Betsy and we are really loving everything we've put together so far, and I feel I have more social options in my free time now that I've been living here for over eight months. All good things...
But I do realize that this cuatri is going to fly by, and I have decided I am not going to renew my contract at UNO. I will have to find a job where I am earning American dollars and able to start paying down my loans - a daunting task. So, I am definitely going to try to make the most of the time that remains, and it looks like I will be wrapping things up here at the end of July - early August.
No real ideas yet on where I'll go or what I'll do...but I have a feeling things will work out just fine.
