Two More Weeks And I Am in Puebla!!! Ay Dios!

I just received the second email from Noemi, a woman from Barcelona, who has worked at Calasanz for 9 months some time ago. She has been extremely helpful and her emails have revealed important and interesting things about what I should expect to encounter in Puebla. Her main message has been that working there will be worth it. The kids are amazing and adorable, she says. Yet, I was amazed at how much responsibilty she was given there, and I had to realise that the same will happen with me. She stayed at the house alone with the kids a few days a week. That is not likely to happen when I am there, but still it seems like hell of a lot of responsibilty for an unexperienced 19 year-old idealist like me. Well, I am determined to do my best. No matter how hard things will turn out to be, I will stay there and work my butt off. I have nothing better to do! (harsh facts) I am looking forward to going to Mexico soooo much. I will have to get used to that layed-back culture and the easygoing people, and the food and the beans and the heat and the whatever. I am so happy to get to do all that. It will probably be the craziest thing I have done so far in my boring life, and that is the thing that makes me smile the most. Why not, everyone should explore the world like this, without knowing what to expect!! Knowing very little about anything. Aaah. LESS THAN TWO WEEKS! I have to pack, go shopping for gifts for Alberto, Alejandro and the Calasanz kids! I have to apply to universities! I have to meet friends, sleep and eat chocolate, because who knows if I will have any of these things in Mexico.. No panic;) Not at all.
