Yesterday, I slept in and relaxed in my room for a while, enjoying the calm of the morning for a change. I caught up on some Andy Stanley since I haven't been able to go to Buckhead Church for the past few weeks, and that was very uplifting as usual. Skyping my mom afterward reminded me of the usual Sunday morning routine of waking up and enjoying each other's company over a cup of coffee. I'm looking forward to doing that again when I get home. Después, Emnet met me at my apartment and we went to VIPS (Mexican IHOP) for lunch. We enjoyed some huevos rancheros, mis favoritos.
After rolling out of the restaurant, we came back to my apartment to start writing a test for Wednesday, which took about an hour or so. It's weird to think I could be doing that for the rest of my life if I decide to become a teacher! I'm not complaining... jaja.
I spent the rest of the night relaxing and fiddling around on my computer. No change there. (However, I did fry myself some tilapia, which surprisingly turned out to be pretty tasty! Had to put my culinary skills to the test.) It made me happy to skype with Abbey, although we were having some extreme technical difficulties. All in all, despite the 7 dropped calls, it was worth it. I love that girl más que se puede imaginar. :)
The only thing missing to complete my favorite day of the week was going to Mema's house to visit my family all day. Sundays just aren't the same without seeing my aunts, uncles, cousins, and Mema while devouring the best southern cuisine. This is my favorite thing in the world, and it's something I'll continue to crave until the end of my summer adventures. Love and miss you all!
Today started out the same as usual: up at 6:30, headed over to the school around 8:00, got some coffee (which makes me super jittery...) before class began. Doctora let the students out around 11:00 to go meet some Mexican students at the school nearby for an hour while the two of us went to an adorable little bagel shop a few blocks away. I got a bagel with MANGO cream cheese. Yes. It was delicious. I'm sorry half of this blog post is about food.
I hung out with some of the students for a bit after class ended and stopped by the grocery store on the way home. (Still talking about food...) I love walking around the city during the day. There's always something going on, but at the same time you still feel like you're in a small town. It's superb.
A few of the students are coming over to study on our rooftop terrace tonight for their upcoming tests. Six hours a day in class really isn't enough time together! Jaja. Such a great group. Anyway, that's it for now. Maybe all of my food talk will make you hungry. Or maybe it will make you want to come to Mexico. Either way, I'll consider it a success. :)
