The time is winding down. Its becoming so blatant now. School is ending for the year and that means I have a few months of vacation and summer activities and only about 7 months of school. Im counting down now, not up. I keep telling that to Profe (one of my best friends here). And he says, why do you have to say that? Cant you just enjoy the now. Yes, I can. But I cant deny reality either. Its coming. Itll be sad. It will come too soon. I hate when people use the word bittersweet but Im sure it will be something like that.

But before I go and get emo on you, I want to share some of the things that Ive been enjoying in the now.

• One of my male students bravely decided to show the rest of the class that he understood a womans menstrual cycle, fertility, etc.
  
• I am starting to announce my summer camps (American sports!, Art workshops, Girl Power/Leadership, Film Festival, Community Service).
• The idea of mom and dad coming.
• Lemon-flavored Emperador cookies
• I bought a toaster oven and made bread and it tasted delicious.
• Sweet text messages I get from my students.
• Finding scholarships for my kids.
• Falling asleep too early.
  
• Internet at my house!
• Talking to my students parents
• Pollo Campero. I want a life-time supply. I dont care what the pretentious PCVs say.
• Going for drives with Profe and listening to the White Stripes.
  
• Scheming and planning mini-vacations in the country.
• One of my students (who unfortunately is pregnant) whooped the boys butts in soccer yesterday. So fierce.
• New coffee place in Huehue--called El Museo del Cafe (will be frequenting this fine establishment)
• The bakery group that I am joining (Ill open up my own business when I get home. Watch out Mexican panaderias!)
• The great clothes I bought at the PACA after going to about 10 and not finding shit.
• The idea of running to lose some pounds and instead making myself pasta or eggs with tortillas.
