I only have six days of teaching left here, and next Friday is a class party and Thursday is their final exam, which is a speaking test with me. So basically I only have four more real days of teaching. It is an interesting feeling... I have formed really good friendships with some of my students, and so I am very sad that I will be leaving them. They have all asked about emailing me, and so I can´t wait to inprove my Spanglish with them. There are other students who will probably not pass my class because of how little they actually speak English in my class. That definitely gets frustrating at times, but for the ones that really do make an effort, it really makes everything worth it. When the students speak in their broken English to me it just makes me smile. It completely makes all of the planning and frustrating times worth it.
I am also making some of my last rounds of places in Riobamba that I want to see before I leave. I am taking pictures of everything and all of the people that I see everyday so that everyone at home can see how I spent my days here in Ecuador. I am also headed to the south of Ecuador this weekend to Cuenca to visit another volunteer. It should be a great visit and then I have less than a week in Riobamba before I head to the beach and then to Quito before I fly back to Chicago in 16 days!
Sorry this one was so short, but I promise there will be more to update on after this weekend and after classes wind down some more next week. :)
