important life lessons

things ive learned in the last couple days:

- what lice looks like

- how to remove lice with my fingers

- how long it takes to remove lice with my fingers

- there is a wrong way to sweep (if youd like a demonstration, just watch me sweep normally)

- hand washing clothes is hard. like. pretty difficult. especially when little kids can do it way faster and you can feel their judgy eyes watching you horribly butcher the art that is hand washing clothes. (i actually like doing laundry, but if i ever think its annoying, ill cut off my hand because im still not handwashing) 

- i have more patience for 14 less-than-5-year olds than i thought i did

- picking a section to have for the next year is way harder than i thought it'd be

- im old because my back hurts with everything i do, and none of the kids believe me when i respond that i have no kids. the young ones all think im married and have my own kids 'en mi casa' (: sorry kids! kinda wish i did, but very glad i dont, or i wouldnt be here! 

ive already started planning my return to the states for my summer break. so far it includes (maybe in this order, maybe not?):

- buffalo wild wings

- a pedicure

and thats as far as ive gotten. i cant think much past those two (;

monday i get my first break and im so excited! one, to sleep. two, to open my 2nd envelope with messages from my loved ones back home.
