Two months
I still remember the long weekend after Labour Day last May and the news about the sit-in the faculty. We were not surprised because some students had mentioned a strike could be a possibility and considering the context this year, nothing but a sit-in would fit better.
I can't deny it was convenient for my family because we moved to a different region. We now live at the beach and we really like it, specially because of our baby boys. So, the time without teaching was perfect to sell some things, to give away some others and then pack everything... But this time was different because I didn't get as stressed out as last time.
During these months something really sad happened and that was the death of our little cousin Camilo. He was 4 years-old and died of a heart attack because he had a strange syndrome... as you can imagine it was shocking for the whole family.
As I wasn't teaching I had more time to tour foreigners, which is always fun. I don't care if it's the centre of the city, Santa Lucía o San Cristóbal hills, I always enjoy it. I also toured young people like you but younger, from segundo tercero and cuarto medio. They study in Puente Alto and went to the city centre for a 2-hour tour. That day I had the chance to practice my sign language, which it's difficult to practice with a deaf person but there it was José, a very nice and young student.
Hi, teacher! It's been a long time since the last time we had classes.
