day three at CIS

The commute to CIS hasn't been as difficult, but unfortunately for me; the closest bus route to my home is notorious for being tardy.


Last night I started calling friends and family (most or at least the numbers I could remember) to catch up and to see what was up in Canada. My friend Margarita told me that there have been some lay-offs at work. My heart sank last night upon hearing this news. Now I am worried that I won’t have a job when I come back. :(
Good news is that this morning Vivian found out that there will be other interns coming. I am super excited about having other Canadians around. The downside is that I live so far from them that I won’t be able to hang out as much. I am in the process of making some arrangements to see if I can at least stay in this area three days out of the week; especially when I have to teach late.

I found out that I will be teaching "nivel basico!!" I am super nervous but we will see how that goes.

I just thought of something funny when we had our first day at CIS, Rachel took us aside and gave us a small talk. She informed us that unfortunately many of the young men that enroll in classes at the centre do it as part of a dating service. Their goal sometimes is to get a foreign girlfriend. I laughed when I heard this because a) I don't look foreign so I won’t have that problem and b) I can't believe men would go to that extreme to get a "chelita."

By the way I still don't have the cable for my camera, I went to look for it yesterday but I was extremely expensive.
