I'm bad at this

Okay, I've been here in Guadalajara for 3 weeks and 1 day. I've taught 8 practice teaching classes, with 3 left to go. Next Friday we graduate, and on Saturday, the 15th, we go to Puerto Vallarta on a school trip for 5 days. Awesome!!!
My birthday is next Thursday, and I'm gonna be even older than now. I'm pretty excited that for once my bday will be sunny and warm. This'll be the second time I've celebrated it outside of Canada, but London, 2004, was neither sunny nor warm. It was overcast (as usual) and damp-cold. But, whatevs. This one's gonna be nice!
This weekend we're planning to go see Lucha Libre again, since this is the last Sunday that everyone in our class will be here in Guadalajara. Most of us don't know yet where we'll be working, but I'm reallllly hoping that I'll know before school ends next Friday.
I've been liking school. Our teacher's pretty funny, the people in my class are all good (mostly), and the actual teaching part is really cool. I used the song "Could I have This Dance" by Anne Murray in class today, to help teach the function of "asking permission". I think the students all liked it, and I got a good mark on the class from my teacher trainer.
Mary (my roomate/good friend, from Australia) and I have to go back to the school right now, to observe our classmates while they teach. I'll be observed by a classmate during my Monday nite class. Afterwards, we're going out to learn how to salsa dance!!!
I swear I'll try and update this more often.
