Mom!!!

Mom will be here in mere hours, so as I am sitting on my bed working on passing the slow moving time. I've once again decided to jot down my thoughts. Unfortunately nothing extremely exciting has happened in the last few days to tell you about but hopefully my writing will still be interesting enough to keep your attention for a short amount of time.

I still have yet to set foot into a yoga studio, but I have seen one, so now it's figuring out getting off the bus at the correct stop to be able to make it to the studio, I am quite happy about this. 

Sunday was a very interesting day. Flor had asked me if I would be willing to help one of my house mates friends with speaking English because he had an interview in English or something along those lines.  I thought, why not, so my assumption was: he would come over, have me ask him some interview questions or something, we would chat for an hour or so and he would leave. Oh no, that was not the case. I am not sure if something was lost in translation, language or cultural, but apparently I was going on a bind date.  Well that's what it felt like, they all know that I'm married and weren't setting me up but WOW was it awkward. (It is okay for you all to start laughing now)
(Imagine a 40 year old man, maybe older, chemical engineer, really liking to talk about dynamite and books that had talking animals, needless to say not my cup of tea. )
He wanted to take me all over San Jose.  We went to the children's museum (children's museum.. wierd right), the zoo, and then had lunch. After lunch he wanted to go have coffee, I said I had to lesson plan. Yes it was nice to get out of the house, but, with a random 40 year old man, not so much! It was so awkward because we had to find random things to talk about, now I know when they ask me to practice English with someone, I will have other plans.  Maybe that's what dates would feel like if I would have tried eharmony.com or  hotornot.com. (No offense to those who use it)

In other news, I still love my school. Maybe it's my special ed background or the fact that I have come to the conclusion that we are all on the Autism spectrum, but, I have found new ASD friend's within almost every class.  It's hard for me not to jump back into my Special Ed para position and start trying to find every way to get the one student to have success.  There is something about the student's who need extra love; sometimes I find it so easy to give it to them, but sometimes, so hard. 
And lastly, I still miss Adam a lot. He really is my favorite person ever.  I can't wait to see him in 10 days.

Until next time! (I'm so boring I don't even have any pictures for you, soon enough my friends, soon enough!)
