Anyone in the mood for a quickie?

School is great but its getting harder and harder as I deal with more nuances of the culture. Today I was faced with the dilemma of whether or not to tell an abusive father that I am having disciplinary problems with his daughter. I almost got in an argument today with the principal about some of the Honduran teachers because they favor some kids over others, and my principal thinks that's ok. I told a parent during parent-teacher conferences that his daughter has been cheating and copying on tests and homework and he just laughed...I was like, um, no, you are supposed to be mad. (Obviously, I didn't say that). These are all just differences between my culture and theirs, and the situations just keep on coming. So, its a lot to deal with. Being totally culturally immersed in a culture that's different from my own isn't all fun and games like I thought it would be. Every minute of my life is a learning experience though, so I better as fuck be learning a lot from this. Its definitely a test in patience and acceptance. I gotta tell you, I'm learning I have a lot of room for improvement in those two areas. Nevertheless, my Spanish is coming along, I am still totally in love with my students and have a blast with them, and Honduras just qualified for the next round for the World Cup, so life is good.
