Quickie

Not a whole lot to update on, but i feel bad that i havent been writing more. Things are still going well... i am slowly but surely learning more spanish, still a major struggle to understand the nicaraguan accent. Today was gretchen's last day teaching with me at the school :( Sad of course because her days in nicaragua are numbered, and sad because i wont have her to hang out with. But at the moment i am more scared at the fact that she will no longer be at school. No one really knows, but the guess is that the nicaraguan preschool teacher that has been there the whole time has quit. She was there 1 day by herself last week and told the director she was a bit overwhelmed, then she just stopped showing up. So it looks like i am going to be the only teacher... which is terrifying! i love the kids and i know that this will give me a chance to really test myself and work really hard on lesson plans outside of school . But even with lesson plans, i fear i cant do this alone. Not just because i know that it will be overwhelming having 11 2-4year olds on my own with the language barrier and their craziness, but also for safety reasons. There are a lot of hazardous materials around the school and small children, that if not watched carefully, will try and run away. many other safetyand sanity factors that i wont go into make me a bit fearful. All i can do is arrive on mnday and hope for the best! wish me luck
