A gross yet somewhat funny reality

I wasn´t planning on writing a blog today...just another normal day at the high school. However, I had to tell you about just one thing.

I´ve been frequenting the bathroom a lot today. I woke up fine so I went to school. Lets not talk about how I drove my adoptive Dad´s car from my house to his house in the most dense fog I´ve ever seen in my life. That may have been the biggest lesson on knowing my limits I´ve ever learned in my life...much sobering comes from having the shit scared out of you because you can´t see a single thing around you. Anyway, once at school my stomach decided to explode on me once again but because of the anti-diarreah medicine I took, I am not able to give my stomach what it wants. For that reason I have been spending a lot of time running from class to the bathroom and back again.

Here comes the best (some may say the worst) part...inbetween my sprints to the bathroom, my partner teacher mentioned that one of the faculty members has been having "troubles" and that the toilets may be "contaminated." That wouldn´t be a huge problem except for that the school does not provide toilet paper in the bathrooms and I only brought a limited amount of kleenex to school today. Ugh! Therefore, I may be returning home with some unwelcome visitors. Lets hope not! That is my reality and that is also why I am sooooo excited to return to teach in the states!!!

Tonight, if my stomach can bare it, we are having a despedida (good bye party) for my favorite English teacher here. Her last day is tommorow because she is going on maternity leave (sad story-her husband is a Jamaican living in the states and he can´t get a visa to come to Chile for the birth of his child.) Tomorrow I will be working at the elementary school...yeah! Good news...15 days until I return home! See you all very soon!
