Lunes y Martes

so monday morning came around and first it was the usual monday morning worship which was good. and than after was a class on genesis so we had that until lunch. than after lunch it was my ministry!!! soup kitchen once again. so me,gen and cody were the main ones so we went and hung out with the games, played various games like british bulldog,duck duck goose,skipping etc...it was very fun!! however my little girl from last sem...well she wasnt there that time :( hopefully she comes sometime when im there!
theres cody arm wrestling!
me and gen piggybacking somekids, they liked to have races, it was a very good workout for us!
one girl there attempted to piggyback gen and than me. she sorta got gen up but when it came to me...there was no chance! it'l be a few years yet!
awh! i like this photo! the kids love getting there photos taken with us!
i love these kids!! :)
one of the common games they played was attempting to get the boys over to the other side of the lot...it got fairly intense sometimes!
the kids also enjoy skip rope!!
those are some of the pics from the afternoon and among other games is also spinning which they love. its a great workout! but than came back, had a shower and chilled, played guitar for abit. and i acutally jammed with Pablo on sunday :) however i lost the guitar pick he gave me today :( sad times!! after supper it was doctrine of christ time with don marco and that was good. than on tue, we had genesis again, and in the morning when i woke up my throat was not feeling the greatest but i let it go thinking it would get better. anyways in the afternoon, i handed in my paper that was due, went for a 35 min run :) was able to do 16 laps in 35min!! which is 4 miles. and i sent my scanned claim form to my parents so there officially taking care of it! thank goodnesss! and i no longer have to worry about it!! than i went to the doctor with becca as she wasnt feeling the greatest but luckily there is nothing serious with her! however when i was there my throat started getting super bad, it hurt to swallow a lot and even taLK! so than i ended up just not talking anymore. i went to the pharmacy at the hopsital and they gave me some pills - 4 of them.
a most intresting name...
and my attempt at taking a photo of my pills without me being in the picture, and hopefully u can kinda see how its one side is solid and the other has orange and white circle things that make noise when you shake it. never had medicine like that before so it was a new experince and so far a good one!!
well it worked extremely well! after i took the first one, i have to take one every 12 hrs, after a wee bit i can kinda speak and swallow now with not a lot of pain! yay!! the pills are called - Flamydol Retard...a most intresting name. well they work so i wont complain!! than we had genesis in the evening and we ended up watching a movie called the mystery of life and talked about darwin theories and pretty much contradicted his theory since there is so much more science to see the smallest of things it was fairly intresting..i fell somehwat asleep for afew min, a few times during it but not too bad!! and that is my first couple days of the week! cheers! :)

Wed-Thurs

So yesterday we had class in the morning but instead of having class we had a half day practice from the spritual disciplines class and we had a party! made a fire in the dirt pile and had yummy food!!
cooking "hobo" burgers over the fire! so good
thats what they ended up looking like, however mine was just plain, if you had one with sausage and onions it was more of a red color.
and theres cheesecake that katie made for us! :) it was super super de duper good!!
and we had that until close to lunch time and than we just hung out until it was camineta time and I was with alyssa. it was nice to talk to her and get to know her better. we had a most lovely time. afterwards was work day. me,kiley and jaydaa were in charge of raking up the leaves by the greenhouse and bringing them to the stick/leaf shredder thing. it was a pretty decent job!
and thats juanes...absoutly crazy tico but really cool. hes one of the staff at Port and the one we had to bring the leaves to!
theres jaydaa with a pile of leaves!!
kiley was our raker!!
i got to ride this lawn mower thing, the thing attached to the back is where we put the leaves for them to be shredded. it was pretty awesome.
and cody somehow got his hand swollen by touching something in a tree? maybe? we dont really know.
but than after work day we had worship night in the evening. last wed night of every month we have a special worship night and so that was really cool. we sang songs, prayed, had candles lit up everywhere. it was super gorgeous! and than afterwards well we were a bit crazy, there was dancing and handstands and just being absoutly crazy and wacko, it was pretty awesome not gonna lie. i got some great video footage which im stoked to put on fb one day because us bible school kids are crazyy :P we also got our ministrys and in-house ministrys as well. im doing the soup kitchen again because i did it last sem so i got to do it automatically if i wanted to and i have gen and cody with me. we planned last night and so it was pretty awesome to get together and just figure out what were gonna do. i have an awesome group! im super stoked for it to start. and for in-house minsitry im with kate,cristof and david on the 2nd sunday of every month we are gonna plan the sunday night worship thing. so that should be good!!
thurs has been pretty good so far. had jorge's leasdership class in the morning for a wee bit and finsihed everyhting by 11:25 so than the rest of the day is free until family night :) which im super stoked for. so im hoping to be able to get a lot done and catch up on all my work so that i dont die next week!! but i have all weekend to do it...man ima procastinator! which is bad but im working on improving it.
so i talked to the insurance company today and in the end I got steven to call the hotel and talk to the manager and poor guy, this has never happened to him before and so he doesnt know what to do, so he is gonnna call the insurance company and talk to them and we are suppose to call him back tomrow at 11 and so we"ll see what happens whether we get anything or not...well its in God's hands now. theres not much we can do. but that is currently the update with the insurance company.
so i dont know if i told you much about the pill im taking for my head but its a muscle relaxant and...it makes me tired and relaxed but man do i feel good and get a lil loopy. but than im super exhausted in the morning because it kills me..thats the only problem, but only 2 days left!! woohoo!! family night is tonight! and were watching a movie apparently! lol. hope its a good one! well it ended up being megamind and that was pretty good!! never seen it before and now i love it. but that was my wed and thurs. cheers! :)

Insurance Company Days

So my head hurted so much on monday and felt like crap so after monday morning worship Tom went and drove me to the hosptial to get it checked out. luckily we had no class this mornign and it was just a morning to read our stuff and what not. so me and Tom went to the hospital and than after everything the doctor reccomendded i get a CT scan. so i did and it cost 450$ and tom paid for it because my parents couldnt transfer the money right away as they were gone from the house and i got it done and nothing is wrong thankfully and i got some cool scans of my skull but...after all of it comes insurance time. so i file my claim, and start to fill out the papers. i get a call back from the insurance company and in short they cant go forward with my claim until i get an insurance number or a incident report filed from the hotel. which is gonna be kinda difficult because we never filed anything with the hotel and so they have no record of the incident. the insurance company is being a bum and so freakin stupid but than thats what insurance companys are like. and so this was happening all on monday and tuesday and so today Diego is gonna call the hotel and see if anything can come out of it. but who knows since the hotel has no record and so if not than ill have to call the insurance place again and well talk to them some more about what to do. i hope that someone will cooperate and that some money will be returned to us as its a decent amount. but who knows...and on monay evening we had Don Marco's class and Tuesday evening had Toms class so same old. same old. we picked our ministrys yesterday, im staying with the same one - soup kitchen so im super stoked for it!! and today we have our celebration and our last class of the spritiual disciplines class and so it should be good. and today will prolly be talking some more with the insurance company and i just pray whole heartdly that someone will do something. o update on the drugs, so i get drugged up at night when i take the night pill, and funny stuff i do say according to my roomies however it feels nice when i take it but in the morning it drains me and i have no energy or will to get out of bed. but i have another pill to take during the day adn that helps some so its turning out good but i just wanna run again, i miss it and the race is coming up very soon so i need to run as much as i can!! ya...but it hurts to do sudden movements and so i cant really play soccer or run atm and ima gonna try after my pills are done. 5 days of it. and so im on my 3rd day. but thats were i am atm. cheers! i hope to have some happy news next blog post...

theres me and my "best friend" which if you read my other recent ones u would know about him. but it was a pretty awesome ride home. i slept most of the wayy and than we got back,and supper and worship and my head feels like crap!! so diego said if it still feels rotten tomrow than he ll take me to the doctor. so i guess weÈll see. so we got home and us girls on the second floor, our shoes were missing. we immediatley knew it was jose, as a simimlar incident happened last sem and so we found them strung up on a rope from the boat house across the sm lake to a tree.
and thats our shoes hanging from the water. while attempting to get them out, they fell into the water lol. it was fun afterwards with the help of almost everyone else we got joseès clothes and started to hang them up. however the tree we chose wasnt strong enough and it broke and the clothes fell into the disgusting lake...haha. than jeremey went a threw some clothes down onto a metal sheet
thats jose clothes on top of the lilly pad. lol
and than he came home and found it and well he barely reacted. but than today jaydaa and jose were walking and he said were gonna have fun tonight..im assuming he meant the 2nd floor but who knows. plus he wanted to borrow my camera for something. its intrestnig. me and rachelle did all mission impossbile and tried to sneak up on jose,pato,gaia, adri and glenda who were meeting in the lake house. but who knows. should be good. and had a guitar lesson with Pablo today!! that was fun. and now im having a lovley skype with kayla!! :) but that was my weekend!! cheers!!
