Well, May is upon us, but I'll get to that later.
The good news is that I have taken advantage of the week off from school to get some stuff done around the ol' hacienda.
Number one, I got really mad at my landlord, (he's such a punk of an old man) and long story short took matters into my own hands and tore down the ramshackle ramada he put up over my pila that I always hit my head on. Then I built a new one. And it's so spacious, and not bajita, and doesn't have cucas crawling around on it. It hasn't actually rained since I put it up, but I think my engineering will hold up against the rains... Fingers crossed.
Other good news, I spent yesterday morning stirring, and stirring, and stirring. Then Finally, there was soap. FINALLY. Six pounds of lard, 400 grams of caustic soda and two.5 pints of good ol H2O.
It should be ready to use in 3-4 weeks, and I am going to whip up another batch that is better for laundry in the next few days. Cross yo' dedos.
What else? Well, I guess I don't really have much else. I have been working on my map project and next week I will be working with my students to make posters and flyers about garbage and garbage management... Woop.
So, anyway. As I said, it's almost May now, and I don't know if you know this, but I'll be turning 24... Which is pretty crazy. 24, single, and no babies. Success! (Depending on how you measure success) :P
Salu, pues.
