Whats been going on

So in the afternoon after my last blog, I went back to San Salvador for a few days with the other girl volunteers. We had a few relaxing days with some shopping and other things. On last Saturday, I got to attend a party for UNES to celebrate 20 years of existence. UNES is an organization that I really like and I was really excited to go and see some of my favorite people that see at Mi Berlim weekly. I went back to my community that night and then stayed there till Wednesday. Im not sure but I dont think anything really eventful happened those few days. I did get to meet with the headmaster of the boys school to discuss going and teaching English which I will start this coming Monday. It will be Monday through Friday from 8 to 1130 and I think Im going to have to put a lot of energy into doing that. I tried today to figure out what Im going to do and how things are goign to be run. I think I have quite a few classes to teach but Im not sure exactly. So I got to ride buses all by myself when coming back on Wednesday and it wasn´t as terrible as I thought at all. Im more worried about getting back tomorrow because I dont think that there is a direct bus back to my community. So Wednesday was the fourth of July and we had our own celebration which was pretty cool with fireworks, hamburgers and other goodies to eat. Thursday we met as a group and discussed what we were doing and such in our communities. Then on Thursday night we went to a coffee shop to have dinner and we came home. Friday I went shopping for most of the day and then we went and got to see the other side of El Salvador. Micheal who is antoher volunteer had a friend who goes to school with him who is Salvadoran. She invited to go hang out with her and it was like a different world. We went to her uncle´s house. Almost everyone spoke English and they were really nice but it was a different way of living than what we were used to. We then went dancing and I got to learn how to dance merege or however you spell it so that was a lot of fun. Then we went and spent the night at the friends house which was beautiful. There were a lot of things that the office had like fridges which wasn´t a big deal but they did have hot water which is something I havent seen for a month, not even in the city. It was probably the nicest house Ive been in too. It felt weird to see the other side of El Salvador. Im used to dirt floors and not having running water and this house was amazing. Since we have came back everything has been laid back and I wanted to go back to my community today but it would have been too hectic. So I am going back tomorrow for a full 2 weeks and my first day of English classes. I hope that I start to do more in the afternoon too. I felt a little bit better because I have been told many times that its really hard to get started as a volunteer here just because of how the culture is and it takes some time to get used to having a volunteer to help. I just want to do what I came here to do and I guess a lot of people respect what we are doing. The girl who we spent the night with, Rebecca´s father I think, said that although we not directly helping out him or people that he is in direct contact with, that he appreciates what we are doing all the same. I keep trying to remember that even if I don´t feel like I did much with my community, Im still building relationships with them and then I can tell other people about El Salvador. After this trip too, I know that I want to learn more about El Salvador and read lots of books and probably come back too.
