The PTA is so kind (amable) and hosted a dinner for all of the teachers and staff tonight. We ate a traditional Guatemalan dinner at a nice restaurant, which lasted almost 3 hours! The PTA really cracks me up, because they always make a point to distinguish themselves as the PTA. At the Thanksgiving feast, every PTA mom wore the same orange shirt (that was quite revealing in the back, I must say!). At the Christmas play last week, they all wore red sweaters. And tonight, although it was just a dinner with the PTA, teachers, and staff, the PTA wore buttons that said "PTA" just in case we weren't sure who they were, haha! As I was leaving, I was telling one of the moms how I'm always cold. Her solution: get a man, haha!
Finals begin tomorrow, which means half days for the students and grading for me! I will be stationed in the library with the other middle school and high school teachers! Too bad we can't wear jeans...wah, wah, wah.
I already received two Christmas gifts from students. The first was a Mickey Mouse sweater, which is identical to one the student wears...so we could be twins! The second was a Scooby-Doo clay mug! It should be interesting to see what I get tomorrow!
It's hard for me to believe that the entire first semester is almost over. I am really looking forward to seeing family and friends in JUST 6 DAYS!
We are so proud of you! The Ruwwe's from Austin
