This week's been quite
easy in some ways, harder in others. I started teaching a
class, supposedly of six kids, but actually of three,
this week. They're not too bad a bunch - a German boy, a
Japanese girl and a Korean girl. The only trouble is that
the boy's a few years younger than the others, which
makes it quite difficult to teach a balanced class. I'll
keep trying, however, and see what happens. Because of
the teaching, I've lost a few hours of temporary work, so
I'm trying to at least pay the rent with more flexible
jobs - back to the dishes and the cleaning.
K tells me she admires me for working so
hard, but I keep feeling I should be doing more. I'm sure
that feeling won't leave me until I'm with her again. I
feel this especially deeply now as it was eight months on
Thursday since we first met - it still seems longer to me
and I hope with all my heart that we're together again in
another eight months. K thinks I'll be risking a lot to
come to Mexico in September. She can't get to Spain as
soon as she had hoped, and says that as the economic
situation is so bad in Mexico, I shouldn't try to go
there. Whatever the situation, I can't help but try, I
miss her too much to be away for so long. I'm still
planning to go to Mexico for a holiday this summer, so I
guess we'll discuss it then.
I sent an email to Jack, Canadian Gov and
the Nueva Yorqueña the other day, and got a barbed reply
from the Nueva Yorqueña to the effect that I should stop
being so 60's. I guess group mails are a little too
communal, but I only sent it because I missed them. I
should try and stay in touch with people more, I guess.
Who knows? They might miss me too. I hope they're all
doing the best they can, because they're a great bunch of
people, even if we do occasionally have our differences.
Jack's off to Australia soon, and I hope he doesn't get
himself into too many scrapes over there. I just hope he
doesn't insult too many Australians and start some kind
of international incident or something!
