boooo

so my family was supposed to come this weekend but i guess there flight kept getting pushed back because of weather and thus they didnt come. that sucked. so i didnt really do much this weekend. i volunteered at the english school on friday and we taught a bunch of little kids the english words for the different rooms of a house. usually people just help out the teachers that are already there but one of the teachers hasnt been showing up so we have taken over for her. i thought it was going to be scary and hard but its not. because the kids have no clue whats going on either. one kid tried to tell me that ´sink´is not the right word for a sink. i told him that i was pretty sure i was right that sink meant sink. silly mexican kids who think they know a different word for sink when the right one is sink. then i went and saw memoirs of a geisha which was good. then i spent pretty much the rest of the weekend working on homework cause i had a paper and a presentation due monday, today. my host family thinks im a hard studier because it looks like im always studying but really it is the opposite, i just suck and it takes me a long time to do anything. i have to remind them that sometimes. so this morning i was supposed to give my speach but we ran out of time. one of the students spoke for a really long time. the professor fell asleep in class again. this is the third time. and its not like he is being discrete. his desk is in the front of the class. but this time was the best so far because the presenter asked him a question and he had been sleeping and he jumped up and there was some drool on his chin that he had to wipe off before he started talking. it was really funny. i think he knows that all of us laugh at him. we also talked about, in the same class, the problems that beans cause for people who dont normally eat them. we talked about farts and indigestion in my history of new spain class. what wierdos. not much going on this week but im going to chiapas this weekend during my break from school for carnaval. im kind of sad that im going to miss 6 days of parades and drinking in the streets but not really. i would much rather travel, because i would have been bored after one day of carnaval. but people are going to take pictures of it for me so i can pretend that i did it. so nos vemos and i will update when i get back from my vacation.
