Exhausted

It's been a while since I last posted a blog, but things have been a little crazy for me especially since I have been traveling back and forth to Davao for the past two days going to visit Br. Dan in the hospital. Last night I even stayed the night at the hospital, didn't really get to sleep much, so I am currently really exhausted. The trip to Davao has been taking almost an hour and a half each time I go into the city and coming back. To make things more frustrating, when I went on Wednesday to see him, I have to get back to Cor Jesu to teach a class, the bus I was on broke down, which really didn't make my day. I missed the class that I had to teach. It's been hard for me to take the time to quiet myself just because I am worried about Br. Dan. They were moving the IV to his other hand last night and it was hurting him when they were trying to insert it. I have never seen him in that much pain before in my life. This morning he was in good spirits, he was actually able to sleep a few hours last night.

Other than that, haven't been too busy. Played basketball on Wednesday night with some faculty and staff and tonight we played volleyball. I like how the teachers really get involved in the recreational sports.

Because I wasn't able to teach the class on Wednesday, I taught it today. Now the class that I was teaching is a second year high school class. Their are two sections, section A and section B. I taught section B who gets a lot of comments made towards them that they are lazy, noisy, stubborn, and just don't listen. So my goal was to raise there awareness of this, which they already know about and try to turn it into something a little creative. I engaged them with a Gospel reading from Luke and had them act it out, it was the parable of the good samaritan. My challenge to the class was to see if they can improve in the last month that I am here at Cor Jesu. This should be interesting to see.

They will be fogging Cor Jesu tomorrow to kill the mosquitoes, so it is going to be an early day and a long day since I will also be heading back to Davao and will be there all day.
