Whooo it is 741 am. I've already been across the city to another parish, taught an English class, made it back across the city, and listened to Lovelier Than You by B.o.B. 5 times. Sweet. The English class was awesome though, there were 20 people there! at 6am!! Father Carlos had told me that it should be a really basic course, but turns out they all are already not too bad at English. I found out they all study English for an hour a day. Which is really impressive. So my prepared lesson about numbers and letters and spelling their names outloud in English was a little lame. But it's ok it was a good start to see where they're at, next week I think I'm going to either do something with introductions and greetings and basic conversations or the calendar and telling time, etc. Haven't decided yet. But yeah. 20 teenagers and young people (I don't think anyone was over 22, and there was a surprisingly unabashed 12 year old who volunteered to stand up in front of everyone and spell his name in English) showing up at 6am on a Saturday morning to come to a class run by an 18 year old not-qualified-for-nothin gringo was really cool. I guess the true test will be to see if they show up again next week hahaha we'll see what happens.
I'm going to La Llovizna this morning with a couple friends from Puerto Ordaz. It's a park; state, national, city, idk how that works but yeah! Should be fun I'll probably post on here later tonight about it. Have a good day!
--p.s. blogger.com is really annoying. server doesn't respond half the time when I try to post things. thank god for copy and paste so I don't lose everything ever time that happens. like it just did.
--another p.s. I added my location on this post. not really clear on how that works or how it will show up on the actual blog. if it works, maybe you will be able to see exactly where I live. if not, bummer. you can always google image venezuela, zoom in on ciudad guayana, east side of the river, guaiparo. or just be satisfied with knowing im somewhere in venezuela. whatever works.
