Day 50: Oct 26

-Observed a second grade class in downtown Sorata. It was really cool to see the difference between the rural and urban school. The school in Tutu is wayyyy more informal and the teacher doesn´t have as much control. In Sorata the teacher was strict and homework was actually checked...you actually couldn´t go to recess if you didn´t do it.
-Made pizza with Chris at the program house
-Painted the school in Tutuacaja with everyone (we painted it yellow stripes...)
-Played with the kids in the Cancha with our new tshirts
-Becky Chris and I went back to the program house and made banana bread...YUM. We also did more painting and touching up of the walls at the program house.
-Internet with Chris and cabbed it home
-Played with the kids under the light in the street when I got home. They were playing with tires and rope it was funny. I gave them cookies and then went to bed...but that wasn´t the end of my day!! I actually had one of the scariest nights everr...

I was stung by a scorpion FOUR times! This is what happened:
I felt a bite or a sting on the back of my knee and I ripped something off and threw it to the wall. I had no idea what it was but checked around my bed and didn´t see anything. A couple minutes later I moved my arm from under my jacket that I used for my pillow and I felt the same sting on my arm. "WHAT THE HECK!" I yelled. It felt like another wasp sting. I looked around more and still didn´t see anything. Finally after the second time I shook my jacket I felt another, but lighter, sting on my finger and cheek. That was it...what could it have been. Obviously something is in my bed but I had NO idea what it was going to be. I turned on the light to find a scorpion crawling right in the middle of my bed. "Oh. My. GOD. I am going to die!!" Is the first thing that ran through my brain. Scorpions can be deathly poisonous so I ran into Becky and Chris´ room asking what I should do. I fell on the way to Chris´room too haha because it was really muddy. Anyway, I got my mom and she went into my room and killed the scorpion (after I took a picture) and told me it wasn´t poisonous. I called the instructors to make sure and they called a biologists friend who told me the same. Thank god I didn´t die. It was so scary but also hilarious. What a night!
