So I woke up today at 7 like every other tuesday and I already was in a bad mood because tuesdays are the worst days of the week for me cause I have to work from 8 to 4. So after my cold shower (cause we barely have hot water) I got dressed and see I have a stain on my pants from something I ate that had to much oil on it because Genaro dumps aciete all over everything. Entonces I had to wear my jeans which I don't like because its unprofessional. Well I get to school and am ready to start the day when I get an email from the other english teacher I work with only on tuesdays who tells me she is sick and if I could tell the Inspector and Principal she's not going to be there today because she's ill and she can't call because she has no more credit on her phone. Now this really pissed me off because this SOB pulls this shit like every other week and expects me or someone to teach her classes, and the school has had it with her. I tell them and they get pissed again and tell me how she aint ganna work there next year, and Don Rueben makes me laugh but half seriously says I should make her give me half her pay, which I should. They ask me if I want to teach the classes and of course I have to say yes. So after preparing for the other classes I was going to teach I have nothing. So I decide I will teach a tongue twister for the first 45min of class then take them to the english computer lab. This goes ok for the first class. The second class is a little harder because I have about 6 jackasses who never shut up and tap their friggen pens on the desk as loud as they can all at the same time just because they know it makes me mad. O and all day the school had the Simpson test which is like a country wide exam for all grades so they kids had to be extra quiet, impossible. Then the half of the class that doesn't want to learn or try annoys the other half so I can't teach shit. Then we get to the computer lab and half the computers don't work or can't get internet (teddy I never did AV but I feel like i could show you a thing or two, and all the computers are in spanish). Then the third class, right before lunch, 7th grade, smartass city. I make it short but no one stopped talking, didn't let them go to the computer lab, seperated several kids, had one kid stand in the corner facing the wall, cursed a little, yelled at some but then they just laughed in my face because they don't understand what I am saying, so I makes me want to literally take them outside and fight them one by one until they shut the f up. Pphhfffeeeww. Genaro made a great lunch, fettichini and meatballs. Then the last class I was like her learn this tongue twister say it a bunch of times let's go to the computer lab do whatever you want just sit down and be quiet. I basically was on google earth with one kid the entire time. When the day was done I crashed onto my bed and Genaro asked me if I could go to the campo with him to get some dry wood cause all our wood is wet. I was like fine whatever.
Although it has been raining a bunch the campo is beautiful still, everything is green and lots of water. We say hello to Genaros family friends abuelita and she talks the same if not more than Genaro so I'm like, god I hate listening to these two repeat themselves over and over, where are the dogs I want to wrestle them. Then Coco comes by he's like the Uncle, Abuelita's son, he owns the farm and is like yeah you can have some wood but Frank you want to help me with this thing first, he takes me over and there is a calf bull in the stable with a cut in between his toe so this other guys is holding him and Coco and I are trying to find the right injection to give him for antibotics, I think. It was so cool like a little bull cow I wanted to take him home. But that was just the start, then I got some dry wood for Genaro, loaded Coco's truck with some more wood big ass pieces, threw out some hay for the cows, moved the horses, then as we were going in for onces Coco spotted one of the cows going off to give birth. Now Coco artificially has his cows get pregnant so they all give birth around the same time. There were two calves already, 2 others died, and about 5 more cows that had babies, and humongous stomachs. When a cow is about to give birth you can see the stomach super concave and the mother goes off to be alone. So we rushed in and ate quickly, then went to go watch. It was the cows first calf so I think it was spooked and the dogs were messing with it so it took a long ass time. About 3 hours. I didn't mind Coco said you have to have a lot of patience to be a farmer which I like. We watched till it got dark then moved it into the stable to keep an eye on it incase it needed help and we had to pull it out which I was kind of hoping like that scene from City Slickers and then I could name him Norman or Herman I forget the bulls name. Anyways it was smooth just long, and a little gross but so amazing, I saw a baby bull take its first steps, really cool. I talked a lot about how I wanted to be a Vet or Doctor or something with Coco and I realized its the same shit here as in the US, the farm Vets get paid shit and have to work a shitload. But they only come when they are needed so its expensive, he knows a lot about his animals but he's not a doctor. It was a really cool thing to see. And all this gets me insanely excited to work on the ranch in Argentina, I don't care if I'm just building houses or whatever just to live the simple life is what I want, and to grow a huge mustache.
