Graduation was one week ago. Fifty students received their diplomas to thunderous applause from family, friends...and us. After the ceremony, there was a fancy dinner, an awards ceremony, a promenade, and then a dance for everyone outside in the courtyard that lasted until 2 AM. So, basically we ate, drank, and were merry. Though some of us were only drinking Fanta. We had never seen the school so busy and loud and festive. It was a lot of fun.
The next morning, the school was silent. Summer had officially started here at La Escuela Agricola San Francisco. Apparently the slow life here can get even slower. But not just for us. Now everyone seems to be moving at a snail's pace. But that's probably a good thing because it's really hot. Don't want to overexert ourselves and pass out in the sun.
But this past week has been a good one. I finished the English curriculum, which is my biggest contribution in the past three weeks. That and some English classes. Tay and I are finishing up a website for the school's hotel. Tay's also finishing some advertisements that they've asked him to do. Honestly, his graphic design skills have made him very popular here. He has created stickers, order forms, and posters. He has good designing skills. Kind-of like Napolean Dynamite. And self-sufficient schools only want interns with good skills.
Anyway, one more week here. Then we'll be back home for Christmas. :)
