This last week of classes has flown by incredibly fast. I find it hard to believe that it's already Friday afternoon. I don't even remember what happened on Monday, but on Tuesday Larissa and I went with out teachers and about 6 other students to find a basketball court and played basketball for a couple hours after the break. It's been a long time since I've played, and I was a little rusty, but I had so much fun just goofing around. There was no pressure to even make a basket since a lot of us weren't having much luck with the iron backboards.
On Wednesday Soraya and Maria took us to the market to buy bariletes (a sort of kite) and we went to fly them in a parking lot. We had a lot of fun because the wind was actually too strong for the kites so they didn't work to well and were fast torn apart since they're only made out of tissue paper. I think we also really entertained all the people who could see us in the market...they were laughing a lot. Though the actual flying of the kites was unsuccessful, we had so much fun. I'm really going to miss not being able to see and talk and laugh with them once we finish school.
On Thursday I had to get to the school early so that I could take my exam to pass grade B and Maria could grade it before the break. This way I got the exercise book and grammar book for level C for free. I passed the exam relatively easily I think, with all my errors being silly brain freeze things. Mom thinks one of the funniest errors was in verb conguation. It was supposed to be spelled "doy" except I spelled it "doi" and mom was laughing because it's the kind of thing I would say (like "duh") in English when I have a silly error.
I forgot to mention that on Tuesday afternoon we moved to a new apartment.
This morning (Friday) I came to school sad because it was my last day. We will return to say "hi"
After the break we went to walk in Antigua with a bunch of other students. Today one day (stage) of a bike race finished in Antigua. They call it sort of the Tour of Guatemala. It's a new event, but it atracts proffesional bike racers from all over (Central/Southern America anway). It's a two week long race and this year a Venezulen man is winning it right now. Other than that I don't know much about it. The racers weren't supposed to enter the city until after the classes where over, but it was fun to walk along and see everybody. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera, so I don't have any pictures. When we got back to the school I gave Maria a thank you/good-bye present of nie chocolates and a card which she loved. It was hard to say good-bye, but now we're moving on to see other things.
