Ive been drinking tea like its tequila and this is Mexico

Hola loyal readers (and unloyal but i prefer to great the loyal readers first because I love them more)
     So sorry for the short hiatus... life has been trotting along as it sometimes does in foreign countries... (although I'm sure its hard to believe because lets be honest... isnt every other country dependent on the continued plodding forward of the US, more precisely, the mid-west, to continue its existence?) I'm really getting into the rhythm of school and teaching here. Its been almost a month already since I've been here but it feels like I've been here for months and perhaps a few days.... but like in a good way. Not I've been stuck in Chemistry class for months, but more I've been in bed with Patrick Swazye (cerca dirty dancing) for months kinda deal. Also I've got extra English classes that I'm going to start teaching this week! I've got three clients and doing four classes a week which is some awesome extra income! This makes me feel better about how much I was going out to eat at the beginning of the trip cause now I can earn it back! But I'm alittle nervous cause I dont really know their levels so this whole first weeks its going to be very get there and see sorta thing. (whether it will be like "Hello, my name is Jose and I would like to discuss the merits of nuclear energy with you" or more "Hi, I like very much good the food")  Either way, its money and a good way to be productive. 
     On a slightly more mucas-y note I've been like mad sick going on three days now. I've been hiding in bed waiting for my nasal passages, throat and nose to willingly surrender which seems it will not be happening at least till Tuesday!  So if there are small children reading it would be a good time to ask them to leave cause this next part is graphic.... ok well not really but its gross and for those of you that know me well are all too aware of my love of sharing my gross body stories.  So today I coughed up, into my mouth, a fully formed semi-solid semi-gooey booger. Yep thats right folks, I tasted it! So gross, so green. So much more than you ever wanted to know but you just couldnt stop reading and jump to the next paragraph could you!!!!!!!!!! I almost threw up after that but luckily I had some tea next to me to help redirect my gag-reflex. Although now I've drank so much tea that it also is triggering my gag-reflex. As I so accurately put to my mother, "Ive been drinking tea like its tequila and this is Mexico."
     I started watching the TV show 'United States of Tara' which is about a woman with Dissociative Personality Disorder (aka, multiple personality disorder) and have thus been having some interesting dreams lately. Apparently if I were to develop such a disorder my brain thinks I would have a 16 yr old Japanese exchange student, a 60 yr old male librarian, and a Cher super-fan all waiting to come out from my inner consciousness... and the weirdest thing about that is I dont even like Cher.... Anyways my roommate today gave me some great medicine that I think will allow me to venture out to school tomorrow cause I swear I cant spend another minute in bed.  I know, you can't believe I said that, I can't believe I said that... but I need to get out and about and interact with the people... you know what I'm saying. (I feel like a politician that feels disconnected from their constituents and needs to go shake some hands. Of course in my case shaking hands would be socially reckless for a contagious disease standpoint, at this point so i'll stick to waving tomorrow!)
     So this week with my 4th and 6th graders we are making pumpkins using the exotic art of paper mache! Thats right, I'm imploring the french tenique of glue and paper to make so rocking Halloween take home items! Im kinda concerned that there will be misuse of the materials  (i.e. someone is going to try and make a mask with their friend) but hey, could be fun letting it dry and then watching as they cry in pain as they rip all the hair off their face...  I think life expereince is a better teacher than a book when it comes to horse play of these sorts.  So I'll report back after that adventure to say how many kids will be investing in a eyebrow pencil! 
     So yeah, I don't really have much else for now...  hey heads up anyone can comment on a post! I would to see who is actually reading this and if it is coherent.... (all the side notes and ellipses)... tend to lower the readability but that damn ADD just wont go away... so yeah leave a message! I'm taking requests, like whats your favorite color, or do you how do you feel about destruction of the middle class of America.... yeah...have at-er!!!!!!
