Postcards, cool people, and a job offer!

First things first. So, there's this one person. Her name is Lauren Nelson, and she is super awesome. I miss her quite a lot. And this morning, I was casually sitting in class learning about violence in Peru, when Professor Zandstra waltzed in and plopped TWO post cards on my desk! And they were both from this Lauren Nelson person!!! There's nothing that can quite make a day like TWO post cards from Lauren! Thank you, hermana!!!

Yesterday was super super fun! I got to have conversation with Alonso for a bit, and also later on with David. Really, these people are so great. I have so much fun talking with them!! They have been such a blessing to me! After conversation group last, a group of people met at Pura Fruta to play cards!!! Alonso was there, as well as Jorge and Samir (hopefully I'm spelling that right... if not... I'm sorry, Samir!), Lauren, Scott, Sara, Fuller, Alex, and Adriana. We had a great time and laughed a ton!! I hope we can do this again next week!!!

This morning, I had the pleasure of teaching about triangles again at Colegio Claretiano. Once again, there were no solutions to these problems, and the problem set today was a LOT more complicated than it was yesterday! My brain was working pretty hard to figure the problems out AND manage the class at the same time, but it all worked out. And after class I got to talk to Profesor Aguilar a bit more. It has been such an honor to work with him this semester.

Oh yeah, and I got a job offer!!!!!!!!! For real--I'm not kidding--it's not a joke! The director of Colegio Claretiano wants me to teach math there!! Oh man!!!!!!!!

Today was the last day of regular classes here in Peru. Which means that it was also the last day of regular classes of my undergraduate college career. Next week is final exams, and then we head off to Lima for five days before returning to the States on December 15. It's pretty crazy to think that I'm DONE with undergraduate college classes. They are over. They were great! And now... who knows what's next, but it's going to be great, too!!
