A no class Friday!

It's a rather lazy Friday morning here in Santiago... there is no school here today due to a national holiday, so I'm enjoying the time of just relaxing. I had great aspirations of sleeping in until at least 8:30 today, but my little old brain woke me up promptly at 6 am this morning! Ugh! I did my best to go back to sleep, but pretty much just laid there for about 2 more hours before deciding to get up. It was relaxing to be able to just lay there!

We've hit the rainy season here in Chile... or at least in Santiago. I don't know if it typically rains this much, but it rained all night and it is continuing to rain right now. It's kind of cool... because of the tin roof, I can hear the rain fluxuate in its intensity.

Yesterday (Thursday) I gave my first Quiz to the Junior High students. I found I was almost as nervous as they probably were. I really want to make sure they understand and then get good grades. You could pray for one of the girls specifically... her name is Kimberly. She doesn't understand a whole lot of English, but she is here at the school. Because of this, I know she doesn't catch on to a lot of things that we discuss in class. Thankfully, her Mom is able to help her with her homework, and she's very thorough in that. However, when it comes to remembering things in English or even reading questions on a quiz and answering them... I'm not sure she understands. I so badly want to be able to help her...
