Our chairs & couch finally came! We waited and waited and of course during the 2 hour period we gave up waiting, they came. Luckily we were only next door at my host moms house so Octavio could run over and help them unload everything. So now our apartment is complete. The only thing missing is Lola, my kitten graduation present! Octavio's sisters cat had kittens when he was living at home & he picked one out for my graduation present. Then the sneaky little guy told me once I got here we had to go to Tres Valles to get her. If there's one way to get me over my nervousness of meeting his whole family at once it's bribery with a kitten and he knew it.
Octavio's started school now. His first day was cancelled due to the hurricane. Apparently there were supposed to be big storms as a result of it in Xalapa but it just rained for part of the day then was sunny the rest of the day. I used the day to apply for some jobs at English schools in town but so far have heard nothing back. Octavio's really excited about school, his (second) first day went well and he can't wait to start cooking things. I can't wait either because they get to bring home everything they make, including what they make in his pastry class! mmmm...
Now I'm just looking for jobs and hoping I find one soon because it's really boring all day by myself!
I would have a classic first day of school picture to post here but Octavio wouldn't let me take one. He says once he gets his uniform though he'll let me take one so look forward to that.
