I woke up before my alarm today, but that did not mean that it did not feel like Monday, because it did.  During class, the kids spent most of the class period working on a PowerPoint presentation over a section of the text that they read and will present to the class on Wednesday.  Most of them did a super job, and therefore, there wasn’t much I could do to help them.  As a result, I spent most of the school day grading the homework that they turned in and making copies for the US History class tomorrow.  As we were walking out to the street after school, we could see the bus make a stop at the bus stop that we normally catch, so we started running to the next stop on the line.  We had great fortune and got picked up, making our get home time much earlier than normal.  When we got off the bus, McCall really wanted a Coke, so we went inside a little convenience-type store.  As we were all paying for our afterschool munchies, a pigeon got stuck inside of the store and couldn’t get out.  On top of the ordeal, Katie is terrified of birds, so she made her way to the other side of the store as this guy cornered the bird, picked it up with his own hands, and took it outside to let it fly away.  We’re definitely in Central America.  We changed clothes and then started to plan our adventure to Monte Verde for next weekend.  We already have a hotel booked and a plan of action on how to get there ready to go.  I spent the rest of the day eating, shooting the bull with Zoe, and trying to keep the people happy by updating the blog.
