I'm completely sane, but I like to get off buses early :)

Started work yesterday! I'm working in the Guardería which is the school in the orphange. The kids I get to work with are all 3-6 years old and every one of them is gorge. There are 9 of them and at the moment they're all learning about fruit and veg. They get to colour them in and do collages of fruit too. They have a 'Mama' and a 'Tía' in each of their casitas (where they live) and I'm an extra tía. They all call me Tía Emily because that's what I was introduced as and it has stuck. So... for the next month I'm Emily! Could be worse...

I have to get a bus to work. The same as before... stick your hand out, get into a bus fit to burst with people and then get off where you like. Unless you're me, and then you get off 2 km early and have to walk the rest of the way. How silly.

Yesterday I had to have a physcological exam to make sure I'm not criminally minded and can work with children (I can by the way, the test said I was completely sane... HA!). I had to draw a man in the rain and give him a name (Bob... seemed like a good name to me) and an age. Then I had to look at those weird pictures and say what I saw. This whole thing was in spanish as well... I had no idea I knew so many bizare words.

After the test we went to El Cristo de la Concordia. I thought it was quite little as we were walking up to it and was like 'What's the fuss?' Then Vicky took a photo of me by it (should be somewhere on this page if everything has gone right) and I was like :O It's MAHOOSIVE! We were going to go up into it but you can only do that on Sundays. DOWLING! Vamos a ir :)

That's about it so far... shall keep you all updated :)

  1. I have lived with you - no wait a minute, you have lived with me for over 18 years and I think the tests got it wrong. Sane? Don't you think they ought to interview the mother? Or the grandmother? Now that would really have got you negative points!

    Sky looks nice and blue and I like the tall bloke's white frock.

  2. Or your Uncle. I have six CRB clearances and they still haven't picked up that I harbour homicidal thoughts towards the total waste of the oxygen he breathes student that I support.

    PS Top Gear says you should be taking Viagra to help with the altitude.
