It's that exciting time of year when Wake County schools are starting to post positions for next year!! The Open Jobs Listings get updated every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and I eagerly check each of these days to see what opportunities might be available when I return. I really CAN NOT WAIT to be a teacher again! I just hope I find a school as great at Creech Road!!!
My best friend here, Silvia, is pregnant. I've been trying (not seriously) to convince her to name the baby after me if it's a girl. I've started calling her belly Jesita, and in conversations about the future I refer to her future kids as "Jesita and her siblings." It's become quite a joke, and now whenever Silvia wants me to do something for her she says things like, "Jesita really wants some lemonade but it's all the way in the fridge in the back..." or "Jesita's really in the mood to listen to some classic rock..." And since Jesita's due in July and I'll never get to spoil her in real life, I have no choice but to spoil her now while I have the chance.
There's not a whole lot to do in San Ignacio, so the two main hobbies people have taken to are gossiping and engaging in various activities designed to promote interaction with members of the opposite sex. When I lived with the family that I used to babysit for, their neighbors across the street were always outside and kept track of when I left, which direction I went, how long I was gone, and (if possible) who I was with. Well soon after I started hanging out with my ex, Martin, they noticed that I also gained a little weight. Their expert eyes analyzed my weight gain, and having seen many pregnant women in their lives, they concluded that my little bulge was definitely a baby. That determination led to a debate over who the father might be, and these neighbors actually asked Ramon (the father of the girl I babysat for) if the baby was Martin's, or if I was already pregnant when I got here. And I only gained like 4 pounds, they just had nothing else to do so they had to make a whole story up to keep themselves occupied.
A common way to engage in interaction with a member of the opposite sex is to ask a friend to give you the number or a cousin/neighbor/coworker/etc who you don't know. You then text them and say something casual like "Hey, what's going on? I'm not sure who you are, but I found your number in my phone." The other person will undoubtedly be as bored as you are, so getting a response is quite likely. Since you already know everything about yourself you will probably have much more fun if you make up lies to answer any questions you are asked. Once you're sure the other person is hooked on the conversation, you might want to cleverly ask for a picture by saying something flattering like "Haha!!!!! You're really funny. Send me a picture so that when I dream about your jokes I'll know it's you." Eventually the conversation will come to a close, but make sure to tell ALL your friends and coworkers about it tomorrow because they will likely find it entertaining and undoubtedly marvel a the witty manner in which you responded at various points. And they may not have been lucky enough to have been blind texted yesterday, so this way they will have a story to tell all of their friends and coworkers.
If you're looking to chat up a guy while at the same time being sure to create plenty of gossip about yourself, a late-night convo with your ex is the way to go. This is a good option because if they answer the phone they are obviously alone, and if they are alone they are probably lonely and will therefore consider the possibility of getting back together. If you get back together the best way to announce this while pretending to be casual is by posting a photo together on WhatsApp or Facebook. This way all your friends will see it and know right away so that they can come running to you to remind you of the 78 reasons you had for breaking up 9 times already this year, and then after they talk to you about your ex/bf/gf, you can be sure they will talk to each other about you. An added bonus to this option is that it provokes jealousy in anyone who thought they had a chance with you. This guarantees that when you inevitably break up again, you will have ample choices of people waiting for you so you won't be lonely.
