I'm boarding a plane Lord willing in about 3 hours! That is if there's seats available. (I'm flying standby) Today's the last day of school, and I played for the 4th Christmas program in a week. Busy busy busy, but fun. My volleyball team won on Friday, and it was a heart stopper. It came down to the last serve of the last game of a three game set. The serve hit the net, paused, and then rolled over. Quite an enjoyable game!
I'm beginning to get confused-I was told yesterday that my Spanish had a Mexican accent. I've been told that I have a Puerto Rican accent, that I have no accent, and I know for a fact that when I talk to someone from Spain that I pick up their accent. Oh well, good problem to have I guess. it's going to be so weird being home and speaking English in all the stores and everywhere.

2 weeks from today!
.........I'm getting on an airplane headed for Atlanta! (not that I'm excited to see my family for the first time in 5 months) =)
I have been putting off posting for so long because so much has happened, I just can't decide what to write about because there's no way I have the time to cover everything. So, this is what the last few weeks have been like-
School, turkey run, volleyball games, youth meeting, Priscilla flying home, trying to learn stick shift, failing, finding out the clutch is messed up (how was I supposed to know what a good clutch feels like?), waiting for my cell phone, church, getting rides with people, more school, riding with the Daniels in the morning and hearing VeggieTales the whole way to school (I know waaaaay too many of the lyrics), more school, practice for special music, listening to carlos tell jokes, more school, more practice for special music, more school, dragging the 7.5 foot Christmas tree upstairs and trying to figure out how to put it together with no instructions, Thanksgiving service, 2 baptisms, Carla came home, pie fellowship after church, conversation with Carlos, not being able to explain directions to my house (if the streets happen to have names, there sure aren't any signs), calling my family Thanksgiving morning, waiting in my garage for Mr Santana, going to the Santana's with Ryan, Andy, Walter and Nicole, spending all day eating talking playing games watching movies and enjoying good friendships, listening to Carlitos tell more jokes, singing around the piano at the end of the day, singing Christmas songs, doing nothing all day friday, cleaning all day saturday, playing piano for everything sunday morning, Chinese for lunch, listening to more jokes from Carlos, playing Christmas songs with 2 violins 1 flute and 1 guitar, playing for everything Sunday night because Mrs Jacobson's flight was late, Priscilla came back, more school, explaining to my students that I am not MRS Nething, more school, hearing my students trying to figure out why I'm not married, more school, my birthday, finally getting my packages after 3 weeks, parents vs teachers volleyball game, shopping at Plaza Las Americas and Priscilla spending an hour trying to find parking, birthday supper at Longhorn, Old San Juan at night with the Christmas lights and 2 cruise ships in the harbor, Nyler's second elevator ride (she still hates them), more church, hearing Pastor Fernandez preach for the first time since May, lunch at sizzlers surrounded on 3 sides by water, listening to Carlos tell still more jokes, more church, more school, trying to explain why Americans don't celebrate 3 King's day in January, more school, visitation, and more school!
So there you are. That's life in a nutshell, albeit a very large nut shell.
