"To learn and never be filled, is wisdom; to teach and never be weary, is love.
In celebration of the holiday (today), we canceled classes yesterday at La Buena Tierra. Instead of a grueling day in the heat battling tattle-taling, runny-nosed, completely distracted, booger-eating 4 year olds, I spent it relaxing by the pool, laughing with my coworkers, and eating some great food.
It's always a delight to spend time with the other teachers outside of the school setting. It's refreshing and always entertaining. Yesterday provided us with a much needed boost of energy to get through these last few dragging weeks of school when no one (teachers and students alike) really want to be stuffed into a sweat-filled smelly classroom!
To the rest of you teachers out there - you can do it! We're so close! (and you all in the U.S. are much closer than me....for some reason Mexico has school until July 9! ridiculous!) Just remember, soon it will be SUMMER. Hang in there!
