Hell yeah! 2 more days till the school year is ovah! Then I'm teaching the summer bridge program and then it's off to Peru and Brazil. AL and I are going to Machu Picchu and then to Salvador and Rio. We were supposed to go to Paraguay but AL's dad backed out and then her mom didn't want to go. Then it was like...what the fuck is there to do or see in Paraguay. So I decided we should go to Peru and check out Machu Picchu.
AL is really excited to go to Brazil. We have both been dancing samba de gafieira, afro-brazilian samba, and capoeira, so she's juiced to go. This summer I got 5 weddings I'm going to be going to. People are either having babies or getting married. Either way it means my cheap ass is going to have to shell out money for something.
I got 2 students graduating. I'm proud of them both but one of them I'm really proud of. He comes from a crazy family and environment and at one point he was talking about dropping out. Then he turned everything around and started to excel. It's good when a student does well but it's even better when the student completely changes. It's seeing and being a part of that change that makes my job wonderful. It's what makes me get up in the morning and happy to be doing what I'm doing.
It's good that we're having break too cuz I was starting to not like kids. Nothing like the summer to recharge my batteries and make things better.
