I don't live too far from there so it's pretty much the same as it is here. Nothing threatening. My boyfriend also works close to Herrera and he reports that things are the same as they are here. It's probably best to call your family anyway.......but I am sure things are fine.
I am going to head out in a few minutes. I am going to watch the sea from the clubhouse of my building before planning more lessons for my students and watching novellas. I hope the generator stays on! I hate to think what that bill is going to be like!

Great, thanks for that.
I take it you teach then? - what do you teach?

Sounds like its probably a similar area to our family then - we'll definitely be calling tonight, the question is always whether or not we can get through

3rd graders in a bilingual school. Very happy 3rd graders with no school today! I teach Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies in English. I love my job. It is not easy.....certainly a lot of work, but I love it. I would love it even more if I made more money! 
What do you do? |

What do you do? |
Sounds great! Where are you from originally then? Where did you do your training?
I work for an Estate Agent in York, UK as a Sales Progressor, dealing with developers, investors and solicitors mainly - would much prefer it though if it was over there (we'll get there one day!)

U.S. New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island. I have been teaching for about 6 years. I went to a university in NJ for my masters. The best training is on the job experience though---especially here. I have learned more teaching here than I did in the states. Mainly because parenting is so different and there is the whole second language thing. I could go on and on and on about this, but alas, this is a tropical storm thread. PM me if you want!!!

Thanks for asking. The rain has abated a bit and we have LESS wind but it's still very windy. I no longer expect the wicked witch of the W to go flying by on a broom. I kind of like the more exciting weather (I've had my share between tornados, hurricanes, mudslides, hail storms with hail as big baseballs, fires, storm surge, earthquakes, floods isolating our city for a week, but by far for me the worst is fire so I feel sorry for those in CA.
Our power has been up and down all day. If I go silent it's because of that but otherwise I'm available for questions (I was supposed to be staffing the clinic in Ramon Santana but the mud road would have been a disaster.)
