In exactly two weeks I’ll be home!

Well, you can tell that summer is here—the last several days, and the next several, according to the weather thing, it’s been about 90. They say it’ll be worse in July and August…luckily, I won’t be here then!

I went to the dentist last Friday and she said that I had a couple of cavities, so I had to go back on Monday and yesterday also…apparently, they only do one per visit. The dentist told me that she was also a general doctor and that my zit was infected; that was interesting. She also said that my jaw moves a lot when I open my mouth and she wanted to give me this thing to wear at night to help it. That’s also interesting, because I’ve been going to the dentist twice a year for about 20 years and no one has ever mentioned that problem to me. Hmm…

The books I’d ordered from Amazon came on Monday, though I didn’t get them until yesterday. Apparently, they were delivered by a private company and when no one answered our door, they left them with the butcher across the street, which I didn’t realize until yesterday.

I also went to school yesterday to take the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies I’d made. Everyone who tried them said that they were really good (and they looked yummy too!) I stayed to watch a couple classes rehearse for the festival on Monday and left by 12:30ish.

This afternoon I went and read in the park for a while. It was rather warm, but I found a nice shady spot, so it wasn’t that bad. While there, one of the city workers started talking to me and asked what book I was reading, then where I was from and that he had met Arturo. He was speaking, like, half French, half Spanish and I was like “Dude, I don’t really know what you’re saying”. And I think he offered to teach me French if I would teach him English, but I’m not totally sure because I had a hard time understanding him… Oh, and then some cute old guy on a bike gave me some candy; it was very random, yet nice.

Xoxo,
