Random Updates...

* Da me mas gasolina (remember that one from Spain girls???)...So apparently the reason our stove/oven hasn't worked since we got here AND the reason we haven't had water is because our gas was out. So we have been eatting out/on the street since Thursday because we haven't been able to cook anything...We have a microwave but there are limited things we can cook with it because we bought our groceries for an oven!

* They told us today at our school meeting that if we go to the hospital to make sure we stay at least 24 hours so that insurance pays for it. I thought the idea was to get out of the hospital right away, but apparently not...

* All the DVD's I brought from home don't seem to be working in our DVD player..something about it being a different zone, I'm not sure the mechanic is coming again tomorrow.

* Today we had a list with many problems with our house. For example, my shower drips, another girls sink drips, one girls ceiling leaks, we didn't have hot water, the oven/stove didn't work, we were missing 6 light bulbs throughout the house, our outside lights don't work, the mailbox is facing the wrong direction, our plant hook is no longer in the wall....also known as rediculous amount of problems for one house!

* We have been on our own in the city until this morning when we had a 5 hour information overload information covering topics as our new Mexican social security card, tour of the school, how we need to be fingerprinted, classroom management/discipline rules, where to buy chocolate cake, how we pay our bills, when to get more gas for the house, getting our own router, where to go to buy stamps, and many other random things! Tomorrow we get to go school and get fingerprinted, our social security card, fill out more paper for our working visa and we get to settle into and decorate our classroom a little! I'm super excited to be doing something and not just wandering around for days on end with no idea what to do or where to eat or how to tip or anything like that!

I hope you are all well!
