Ahhh… Feels nice to be finished with presentations. I gave my last presentation on Tuesday over the formatting bar in WORD. So boring! Highlight, change the font, change the size of the font. Geez louise. But I think my partners Masa and Justin ended up doing a great job and our technical trainer also said it was "perfect", that's what we do! :) We have a tradition of celebrating with a Presidente beer and a Snickers bar. It's so yummmmy.

So now I have just been hanging out. I still have my youth group making the logos but I pretty much just have to critique their work. One of the many benefits of being a graphic design teacher, you just sit back and play devil's advocate. The logos are pretty cool but all these kids are just figuring out Photoshop so they're absolutely hooked on using cheesy gradients and shapes in their logos. I wish they would just use text! This is definitely a good first run of teaching logo design, I think they'd look better in Illustrator but that's because I am an Illustrator kind of girl and I love using text and vector art. But that's just me. Ha. I did get around to sewing a shirt my bestie sent me that was 2 sizes too small. I cut off the ribbons thats supposed to tie in the back and used them as extensions for the sides and now it fits! Yay! I love being crafty and also very cheap. (I don't want to buy anymore clothes, gotta use what I got!)

I also spent some time repairing my camera that broke one crazy night at Club Wow. I was actually really sad because the lens would not come out. The next day I spent all of lunch using my nail clippers to McGiver the lens to open and I was successful! The camera isn't very pretty now but it really doesn't matter. As long as it produces pretty pictures it's fine with me! Maybe people won't feel obliged to steal it too. Maybe. 

Still getting bit my millions of mosquitos, I've decided the problem is that my doña has a garden and she waters all the time so the mosquitos are always around for the free water. Also, I've noticed where they attack me most often; the restroom. Every time I sit on the toilet, I feel them nipping at my ankles! It's really gross. So I try to use the restroom as quickly as possible and that's my biggest challenge. Haha. Also I've been pooping so weird lately, I think I am going to start taking pictures, not to show all of you adoring fans but just as a pooping journal for myself. I've seriously seen symbols and words in my poop, I think someone is trying to tell me something. Haha. It's probably the mosquitos trying to distract me while they nip my toes. Hahaha. Oh god, this post got personal.

Anywho, my time at this site is coming to an end, we all will be departing and reuniting with the environmental group on Thursday of next week. So of course on Wednesday, there shall be a huge party to celebrate our work in CBT. I am almost certain that this Sunday we could be going back to Playa Esmerelda as well. I am definitely content.
