Well, I did a lot this week! I started getting ready for school... I went shopping and bought lots of fall clothes. It's a crying shame that I can't wear any of them now because I would DIE of heat stroke.
I FINALLY went through my Mexico stuff. I put it off for so long because I knew that I would be sad when I did. I was right, it was sad. But it was also fun to find notes and things that I had forgotten about.
I went to the dentist. That was scary times, but actually it didn't hurt too much. I got my little white scar on my front tooth filled in. So now, my teeth are normal!
On Thursday I started my hours for elementary education. Talk about fun times! I was with Mrs. Manriquez and her kindergarten class for two days. It was tons of fun, and I think I am going to add kindergarten to what I can teach. I really liked it though... Because it was their first few days of school, they were scared and nervous... so that was interesting to see. It was also fun for me because I got to speak Spanish a bunch, or eavesdrop on Spanish. There were quite a few of her kids that couldn't speak English at all. I can't even imagine going to kindergarten and not being able to understand anything. Those kids are impressive.
On Friday, I went to San Francisco with my family. I drove! It was emotionally scarring because I thought I was going to crash on several occasions! But I didn't. We wandered around the city, went on the trolleys, went to pier 39, ate clam chowder, drank hot chocolate, saw the sea lions, went to Haight- Ashbury, and went to the farmers' market! It was TONS of fun! On Saturday afternoon, we picked up Michael from the airport (he was at EFY).
On Saturday night, I went to dinner with Hyrum. It was quite delicious and fun! After, we went swimming, jumped on the trampoline, went on the swings, and took foolish pictures! Also, quite fun.
Also, I must add that Michael Phelps has broken Mark Spitz' record of 7 gold medals in one olympics. I watched all of Michael Phelps' races... he's amazing.
Now today is Sunday, and I plan to get lots done! I am going to write my missionary friends, read, go to church, and call Bethany.
I am pretty nervous about school next year. It will be my first time cooking for myself, while living on my own. I want to do well in school, so that makes me nervous. I want to take ballet, and do really well... there are just a lot of things on my mind. Oh! And getting to Utah! That's scary! Also, getting all situated before school starts... Ay, caramba! Esta bien, when Bethany gets to Utah, things will get so much better! How I miss that girl! We have so many plans for this next year... hehe. It will be amazing.
Tambien, no puedo esperar a ver mis amigos de Mexico. Estoy muy emocionada por eso, y estoy emocionada por mi clase de espanol. Yo extrano hablando espanol.
Con amor,
Jessica
