Almost there, but not quite.

Tomorrow is the last day of attempting to blog every day. I missed the last few days and I'm kind of sad about that because I have so many things I've wanted to write about. Maybe I'll just try to continue blogging more consistently in the future.

On Wednesday night we went to some teachers' apartment for a going away dinner for Rachel. This was the first time we'd gone over to my coworkers house for dinner and not a huge party. I get nervous about parties. I have social skills, I know. I just don't know how to apply them well in groups. But surprisingly, it was really fun. We talked and ate and laughed.

The board members paid for a Thanksgiving dinner for the foreign teachers on Thursday. It was a little too noisy for a proper holiday feel, but once the dancing began I didn't worry about feeling warm and fuzzy. Thankfully, I had learned the Mexican line dance at Silvia's birthday party so I pretty much rocked that one. We also bounced our way through a little swing song. It was so nice to dance again.

Then on Friday night we went over to another couple's house for a little party that they were having. It was very low key. I spent most of my time readying a book called "Spirit Healing" or something like that. Quite stimulating for me and I had a couple good conversations because of it.

These moments with my coworkers almost make me want to stay in Pachuca, but when I go back into the classroom, I feel so relieved that I'm going. Soon I'll let you know what my plan is next.
