(Saturday, January 29, Day 222)
"The contents of this website are mine personally and do not reflect any position of the U.S. Government or the Peace Corps." Phrase of the day: Yo comi demasiada comida este fin de semana... I ate way too much food this weekend. 
But I'm alright with that! And yes, that is lasanga. It was by no means Big Auntie's, but it was good. It had chicken in it and actual tomato sauce! (If I hadn't mentioned it before, no one here makes tomato sauce, not even with pizza!) It was this girl Susi's birthday. I only actually met her like two weeks ago, but I've seen her almost every day since. I'm not sure where she was these past 5 months, but she's good friends with Kasie now. 
Yeah, she was pretty happy. And no worries, she did get the usual birthday treatment. (Face smashed in the cake). 
Surprisingly, she was still smiling after that. I don't think I've ever seen anyone get it so good! 
Oh,the cake was great. It was super-rich chocolate cake with a chocolate sauce on it and vanilla ice cream on the side. (Yes, I totally did bring the ice cream. I mean, I don't know how they normally just eat cake plain... no thanks). 
On Saturday was the graduation for Colegio Tecnico San Isidro, the high school. It was supposed to be outside, but they were calling for rain. And by that, I of course mean it was just cloudy (most people haven't even heard of meteorologists here). Because it was inside, I didn't actually get to see any of what happened due to space, but I imagine it was nice. 
I went because a lot of the students graduating were from that class I helped teach when I first arrived here. They are all great. 
And in particular, I went to see Hugo and MaFer graduate. 
In the evening I went to MaFer's house for her graduation party/dinner. I kind of just listened to her aunts and uncles talk, but it was nice. More so, it was really nice of her for inviting me. (She's Liseth's sister. Liseth is Mario's girlfriend. They had invited me over for Christmas Eve dinner too. Yeah, they're definitely the most considerate girls I've met). Unfortunately no pictures from that night, but it was nice. And the next night more food! Ambar, the girl who studied to be a chef, made pizza. It was good, and yes, with tomato sauce; she did go to school for cooking and all. 
All is going here. There was a good turn-out at aerobics last night, so that's great. Hopefully it will continue. We also have the keys to a room in the high school now, in case it rains. Tomorrow there is a meeting about a vacation program of some sort that Kasie and I are supposedly running. Things work weirdly here, but I'll make the best of it. I think I may be teaching English, and I have a girls soccer program!
