Overdue

What do you say to people who've been waiting anxiously for your update for three weeks?

It doesn't matter. I don't think anyone has been too anxious about hearing every detail of my life.

Where do I start?

I've started teaching university classes, and I have to say, that I feel really at home teaching college students. I'm there five hours every Saturday, and we're looking at me taking the exam pretty soon to be a faculty member. (Dream come true? Oh yeah)

I've also quit working at the primary school and will focus my time giving classes to individuals and businesses. This basically means a better salary and less hours.

It was becoming necessary. I have been way too stressed lately. I got to the point I couldn't hide it anymore. My schedule was absolutely killing me. Most days I was out of the house for 13 hours and got home just on time to go to sleep. The problem was, I couldn't sleep. I had to begin planning, grading, and taking care of other matters.

I decided I'd had enough. I did what I could for myself, and it is paying off.

Carlos and I ended up at the mall today. We took a friend to work (he works in the cinema), and then we walked around for a while. The end result was that he found a few things on sale and tried to help me get over my "problem." (Es que te ves muy aseñorado, Buster...TRANSLATION: You look like an old man, Buster)

The end result was this.

It took some getting used to. Everything was a little tighter-fitting than I'm used to, but I think it worked out.

Other than that, I've had a lot of things to think about lately. Last night would've been the perfect night for a very thoughtful blog, but I won't be going into all of that now. Maybe I'll talk about it another day.

Everyone, please keep your fingers crossed for the changes that are going in my life. I'm getting this whole "teaching in Mexico" thing figured out. I've learned and grown a lot. Let's hope the pace keeps going.

And this week, I'm also officially starting a diet. A friend of mine is a nutritionist, and he's getting English classes in exchange for consultations for me. I managed to get back down to my pre-Christmas weight, now I just need to lose another 20 and I'll be at a healthy weight.

Love, always,

-Buster
