Flag Day and Christmas

Today is officially Flag Day here in Honduras. It is a day when we all go out to the flag pole and raise the flag and talk about the importance of loving your country. The principal stood up and made a very nice speech about how it is the youth who need to develop into the leaders that this country needs. I think that it is quite true. What is really sad is that at this point I feel like I know the Honduran National Anthem better then my own. That is what happens when you repeat the national anthem here over and over again. Hopefully today we should be receiving new textbooks for the school which makes me happy because currently I am teaching out of old textbooks and in some of my classes with no textbooks at all. So we shall see exactly what arrives today. I just bought my plane tickets back home as well. So I will be arriving back in for Christmas on December 18 assuming the weather holds firm. I am looking forward to spending Christmas with my family once again and seeing the snow fly. Then hopefully making it out to the west coast to enjoy some snowboarding. Of course this is all weather dependent but it is looking quite likely that this is all going to happen. Well it is time to go teach some math class.
