service learning: check.

Today I got up at 6 (for the last time!) and went to my final day of service learning. We didn't do any big projects today because they did an incredibly sweet goodbye presentation in the afternoon. They did two dances, a recitation about friendship, presented me with a framed photo of the class, and all gave me lots of hugs and said thank you (in English haha) and "Te quiero" which means I love you. I also took more pictures of them during recess (I'm up to almost 200 haha) and I videotaped the dances and recitation. I had my camera in my lap so it wouldn't be too distracting to them so it's filmed from an odd height, but I'll try and upload those. It will probably only take like three days... I also gave them a coloring packet and crayons (curtesy of ACLAS, which I'm very grateful for). The kids enjoyed them a lot.

At school, we had a pretty chill day since we're ALMOST done. We tried to convince Monica, our second professor, to come out with us after classes tomorrow. She said she'd think about it. Two of our other professors, Loli and Sofie, said they would for sure come out haha

Since I spent all weekend writing, I finished my essays so I could turn them in and have them proofread multiple times, because even if a professor reads it and my host dad reads it, there are still grammar mistakes. I'm not sure how all three of us miss them, but there you go. Needless to say, I had Loli read my essay twice and Monica read another essay once, my host dad has read each once, and then he's going to read them once more tomorrow. Hopefully they'll be good then. I've also spent a while working on a powerpoint for my Food presentation, for Monica's class. It's enjoyable because the entire powerpoint is just pictures of food. It makes me hungry, and hopefully will be moderately interesting to my classmates.

I'm also trying to figure out where exactly I want to go for the next two weeks, other than the broad concept of "the coast," but this requires reading my pdf guidebook on my tiny laptop, and I am not so burned out that I'd rather do that than my homework. SO I'm not quite sure where I'll end up but I'm sure it will be fun! Spring break starts in 18 hours :))

Love Alex
