Check, check, and check!

So I know that school hasn't started yet, and maybe I'm biting off more than I can chew, but I'm finding that it's been pretty easy for me to get things checked off my list, even if I've only been here for 30 hours!

I've already emailed a shelter asking about a cute little kitty that they have and I'm going to watch/maybe play in an ultimate frisbee tournament today! Today I will also be emailing El Puente to put myself down for a conversation partner on weekends instead of the English classes because I feel that that might be too much for me... and I have no friggin' clue how to teach English. You poor souls that have to learn it... I went yesterday to get my internet up and running and it will be soon, and until then, I'm sitting outside my friend Dave's apartment stealing his internet!

Last night, Manuel and I went for a coffee just to clear the air. It was really nice to see him and talk and ask some questions that have been bothering me this summer. As good a guy he is and as good a friend he was to me last year, I've realized through some pretty blunt words from a friend of mine, that there are just too many things that I was settling on with him that I really want in my life. So, it just felt good to talk and realize that he really isn't the one I want forever and ever. Heartbreak is never easy and I think that there will be times that I'll still miss him, but I've discovered that I've missed his friendship more than anything else. So, folks, Sarah is back on the market... watch out, Querétaro! ;-)

As nervous as I was to come back (especially with the whole Manuel situation), I'm really happy to be home. I love my apartment, I got a yoga mat, today or tomorrow I'm going to go pay for my membership, I've already had my 2 for 1 sushi, and I'm going out tonight for a friend's birthday! Lots of good things :)

Two days until school starts... I'm excited, optimistic, but still nervous because of my inquiry-based learning technique that I want to implement (thanks for making me so nervous about it, ROB! ;-)). I think it'll be a great school year and I'm excited to meet all of my little sixth graders, but also the new teachers at the school. I have a feeling that we're going to have tons of fun! And, as nerdy as it sounds, I can't wait to see my 8th graders, all grown up and in high school, around campus so I can give them big hugs and tell them how much I miss them :-).
