I hate how that seems to be my answer for every question:
- "What's your schedule look like tomorrow?"
- "What have you been up to?"
- "Why do you have to leave early?"
- "Why are you so tired?"
Oh, why am I so tired?
I've been tutoring like a mad woman for the last three weeks... and now? Now I feel like I've become a mad woman. My summer hasn't been quite the summer I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, its been an absolutely incredible summer so far... just very, very, very different than I was expecting. But let's be honest, how often do things go the way we expect??
So, back in April I was really excited about two possible jobs this summer: one with Opportunity International and one with World Vision. Either one sounded amazing. I was going to get experience working with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in my home country. Really, could it get any better?
Maybe not.
Both of the jobs kind of fell through. I then thought I'd work for an English Institute teaching English at companies. Interesting experience, I thought to myself. But for a variety of reasons that didn't end up working out either.
After Deepika and Carina left, I figured I'd just start tutoring until I figured things out. And now, three weeks later, I've been tutoring on an average of five hours a day. I'm losing my mind... really, I am. However, I'm so thankful for the fact that I have jobs... and that I can make money to cover university expenses in the fall. Also, its quite a plus... but my students are fabulous. I love them all :) So it makes tutoring that much better =D
So, with all that being said...
I can't believe its almost July. Summer really is flying by!!
I'm looking forward to a trip to Prado this weekend :) Hopefully that works out!! And then... (you all can be praying about this) my family is hoping to travel to the Colombian coast to do some ministry with a poor school up in Monteria. We'd be teaching some workshops and then helping out and loving people in the slums in the afternoon :)
