Cannot wait until this week is over


So this week is going by slowly. I think it is because I am ready for Christmas break. We get out of school next week. Our students last day is Wednesday and mine is Friday. We have almost a whole month off so it will be so nice. I have been planning what I am going to do. Chamron is coming to visit on the 22nd and I am so excited!
This week has been so long. It all started on Tuesday when my car broke. On Tuesday morning the battery light in my car was on. I thought that it was because my iPod had been charging. However, when I went to the post office after school my car would not start. I had run there quickly to mail something and it ended up turning into a three hour trip. I did not even have my cell phone or wallet with me. There was a man sitting in his car, and I asked him if he had jumper cable. He did not, but he still got out to help me. He messed around with it, then told me I needed a new battery and maybe something else which he only new the word for in Spanish.
So then I was thinking, "Great! Okay, hmm...I do not have my phone or anything so I guess I can walk (it would not be that far of a walk)."
The man was so nice (okay, I know I should not go with strangers, but I did!). He took me to my house to get my wallet, took me to the auto store, we got jumper cables, went back to my car, tried to start it, and it did not work. Then he took me back to the auto store to buy a battery, back to my car, put the battery in, and followed me back to the auto store to make sure I got there okay. I ended up having to get a new alternator too. I thanked the man so much and told him how people in PR are so nice and helpful. I do not think anyone would have done that for me at home. What a nice man.Hopefully my car is fine now and it will not break anymore.
