A Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Yesterday was not my favorite day here in Paraguay, I'll tell you that.  It started off fine and normal with drinking coffee at the health post with the nurses so I can show that I'm guapa and get up before 10 am haha.  Then I went to visit the school which I have been doing, as you probably know, for weeks now.  So I went and drank terere with the teachers and director of the school during the kids' recess like I always do and then went and asked the 3rd grade teacher if I could observe her class, like I always do.  5 minutes into the class the director's assistant asks to speak with me.

D.A. : Did you ask permission to be in this class?
Me: Umm, yea I asked the professor.
D.A. : Oh so you did ask the professor.  When did you ask her?
Me: Today, before class.  Did I need to ask her earlier?
D.A. : Yes. Much earlier so the director can plan.  Come with me.

We go into the director's office and I feel like a little kid getting sent to the principal.  So out of the blue because I had been doing this exact same thing for weeks now and nobody had said anything.

D.A. : She asked the professor to join her class but just today.
Director: Arianna, you're being disrespectful and going behind my back and I don't like it.  You need to ask me days in advance so I can tell the professor because I'm your boss and I need to inform them.
Me: Okay. (feeling tears in my eyes because I hate being in trouble I tried to end the conversation quickly)  Can I still sit in on the 3rd grade class today?
Director: Yes.
Me: Thanks.

So sooooooooo random and I just hated it and choked back tears in the 3rd grade class so they probably think I'm a lunatic.  And that was just the beginning.  I then went to my contact's house for lunch and he wasn't there but his parents were, who I normally really like.  But his dad was super drunk and just shouting things like "All Americans are selfish and rich" and just other things that I was not pleased about and very out of character for him.  Then while walking back home I was walking with a 14 year old girl for a little and she was asking me questions about where I was living and what I was doing, etc.  Then she asked how long I am going to be here for.  I said two years and she responded with, "Oh you are finally going to be happy and then you are going to have to leave".  So that obviously got me thinking, am I happy?  What if she's right?

Then the little community store was closed so I couldn't buy my favorite cookies.  And my 4 year old neighbor was completely misbehaving although usually he is quite awesome.  My host sister sent me a text saying "I'm waiting for you to come pick up your stuff".  No greetings, no I miss you's, just get your stuff.  One of my favorite Senoras was repeating over and over something in Guarani and refusing to translate to Spanish for me and I was getting so frustrated and annoyed.  Then the US lost which was just so sad.  I wanted to quit the peace corps and marry Tim Howard.  My internet modem expired and I didn't have time to recharge it and I wanted to be in the states so badly.  But alas I was stuck in Paraguay and it was freezing and my sleeping bag smelled terrible because of the humidity and it just was less than ideal of a day.

In fact it was a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day.
