Today was the one day I had off this weekend, and I spent most of it working on stuff for school. I am reminded every five minutes of my friend Sarah B.'s reassurance when I took this job and was worried about having bitten off more than I can chew. She asked me, "Wouldn't you rather be challenged than not?" She had a point, and wow, am I being challenged. I still cannot believe that I am the chair of the social studies department. I have been working so hard with my boss Luisa to get a handle on that. I was at it all day today and am so nervous about meeting all 14 other people in the department tomorrow. Yikes! Then there's the whole teaching a course I've never taught before. . .
Besides working my butt off for school today, I tried to cook on my nightmare "stove." It was, well, a nightmare. The thing is a poorly functioning hot plate, and it took hours to make a dish that should have taken one, tops. It was actually really good, but this does not bode well.
OK, trying to get back on a school schedule is hard. The bus (!!!) comes at about 6:30 tomorrow a.m. The earplugs are definitely coming out tonight -- and soon.

This blog is my attempt to spare my nearest and dearest epic-length e-mails and thousands of photos of me standing in front of marvels of colonial Spanish architecture or posing with tropical animals. So, amigos, here you can follow or not follow or kind of follow my newest adventure: my move to Colombia.
