Post office and no crying!

Well the end of this week has been pretty interesting. I needed to have my lesson plans done by Friday, so I didn’t have time to post. Thursday was a better day. There was only one child crying. He kept trying to escape. After school, I had to go to the post office…which was an interesting experience. I needed to pick up a huge box from my mom. First of all, the employee working was a cute, young guy, and we all know how awkward I am, so I got a little flustered. Lol well he brings out this huge box and asks if I have a car…to which I said no. He then asks, do you have a big boyfriend? And to this I say no again and he said, “well how are you going to carry this box?” lol I don’t know. So I grab my box and then I told him I needed another box and tape because I needed to send something to the states. After a blank stare and some more conversation, I find out that post offices in CR are not like post offices in the U.S. I was like what? You’re a post office and you don’t have boxes or tape!? THEN, more Americans walk up to the counter and ask for a box right after me. It was hysterical. Then, my principal randomly walks in and I ask her what is going on and she takes all of us aside and had to remind us that we are no longer in America. Agh! Frustrating! So I finally figured that all out. Then I got all the way home and realized I left my umbrella there…so I had to walk all the way back and get it. When I got there I didn’t see it, but just as I was about to leave, I see the post office guy waving it through the air with a goofy look on his face. I know exactly what he was thinking, “dumb American.” Lol I walked out as quickly as possible and totally trip and fall on the sidewalk. I am a struggle! Then on Friday, we started the day…and you will not believe this, but no kids cried. I was praising Jesus! Oh it was so exciting. And they did so much better. Words cannot describe how excited I was. Thanks for your prayers! And the coolest thing was that one of my student’s parents gave me a note and a big carton of chocolate brownie ice cream because they felt bad for me!!! They are so sweet! Overall, the week ended so well!
