So my nickname among the teachers at school has been Nica (Nicaraguan) all year. Well the other day we found out that Nica means bed pan (for going to the bathroom in when you are sick). GREAT! We all laughed about it and then we were told that calling me Muca would be more appropriate, another name for Nicaraguan. Ok so Muca was the new name. Well, Muca sounds very similar to moco, meaning boogers, or snot, in Spanish. I have to laugh every time I hear it. So between the two, they decided that they are still going to call me Nica. Bed pan it is!

Yesterday, the women who work in the copy room at school were selling lingerie to the teachers...awkward.

The new dinner hit for the 7 of us? LENTIL BURGERS! That may sound a little odd, but since only 3 out of the 7 of us eat meat, we have to find alternatives to it. Look it up, it's great :)

We watched the ever anticipated soccer game between Honduras and Mexico. To say the least, soccer games are pretty boring....until a goal is made. Then the whole room explodes and people are red in the face from screaming so loud! Then, soccer is fun. After the long game, a bottle of banana pop, and a massive bowl of popcorn, Honduras won 1-0 and we then hit the boulevard. We walked down the street and there were hundreds, maybe thousands of people in cars and lining the street in celebration of the win. People were cheering and honking their horns and waving the Honduran flag in pride. We paraded around as well in a van and joined the hundreds of other cars driving down the boulevard. People were shaking cars and jumping into random trucks. It was the craziest, biggest, loudest, band wagon of fans I had ever seen. After screaming Hon-du-ras and Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole for more than an hour straight, I was exhausted and loosing my voice. The next day at school, one of my students said, "Miss! I saw you on TV on the Boulevard yelling 'Hon-du-ras! Hon-du-ras!'" For some reason, in many events we participate in, we end up on TV....I'm pretty sure it's because we're gringas ;)

One of my3rd grade girls, Jennifer, had a huge birthday party during school. The class turned into a dance floor and Hannah Montana was blaring in the background. The class ate fried rice and listened to Jennifer sing her favorite song. During her song, 2 boys wrote her name on 2 pieces of paper. One said 'Jenn' and the other 'ifer'. They held up the sign chanting her name while she sang. Jennifer looked like a star ;) She had the biggest Bell from Beauty and the Beast pinata I had ever seen and after it broke, billions of pieces of candy and confetti rained on everyone. She had a 2 tiered cake and and very proudly put her chair in the middle of the room and ate it. Ha HA. Teachers and students alike had a ball with all of the confetti. I of course got to sweep it all up when the party was over :)
