Going to School
Greetings!
So this is me on the road to the school, and next time I post I'll put up a video of a little tour of the library.
Just to update everyone: I successfully passed my contract, I only got one "strike" before the week ended, so I'm free to continue to read fiction unmolested. However, even though the contract has ended, I shall of course continue to try to speak Spanish at the table. And Carlos has had a great idea, too! He was listening to me quizzing Jeremy on his vocabulary worksheets, and he decided that a good way for me to learn more Spanish was to have a vocabulary goal for every week, like ten new words a week. He loaned me a sort of pre-teen novel in Spanish, "Pesadilla en Vancuver" or "Vancouver Nightmare," and I'll read through it and pick out words I don't know (that seems to be most of them) and look them up! Jeremy has assigned me a deadline (Monday) and a test for the same day.
Thank you to everyone who has been so concerned about my health, I am happy to report that I must be over altitude sickness because I went running yesterday for the first time! I took it awfully slow, and suffered no ill effects, so the current plan is to go two or three times a week.
That's all for now - check back in for the video tour of the library, I'm very proud of that little library!
Love,
Rachael

Bolivia has such friendly looking clouds...nothing like BC's dark foreboding overcast skies. Although right now it is beautiful!
It sounds like the 'teacher' is getting schooled!
So, I still don't have a sound card functioning, so I made up stories about 3-legged dogs as the movie ran, and assumed that building was the school...? I also was there on your walk to school and it reminded me of Mexico, and it seemed like it would be a nice walk.
Also, there are these red beams coming down just to the right of the school, so I have a suspicion that in your spare time you are shooting old school Start Trek episodes at that site.
(I'm on to you! And I like your quote of the week, too!)
Rachael! Great videos! And I like the regular updates! I've been checking your blog faithfully this year ;)
It's odd to see the school again (I hadn't seen your church, it's really nice) - so odd that I was there, for an ever so short but wonderful 3 days.
You look great Rach. And so happy. Brings a smile to my face.

Hi Rach, I too like the videos and was thinking how fake the clouds look! Kind of like in a painting! Nice to see your stomping grounds, keep up the good work. Glad to hear that you're able to start up with your running again. We've started going to the gym at Cedar Hill Rec every other day!
Love ya,
Aunt Wendy
