Well I have officially ended my second day of teaching. I have finally met all of my students as well as the other teachers I will be working with. Everyone seems great!! At first, I was really nervous that the teachers wouldn't take me seriously (because I look like I am about as old as their students) but everyone welcomed me so nicely! They seem to really appreciate having me there to incorporate my expertise of English language and American culture in the class room. I am with the students when they have gym and technology class. Today I gave a presentation to them about myself, Colorado, the US and things like that and they all seemed so interested! All of them (especially the girls) seem to really like having me in the classroom. They all say "hello" when I pass them in the halls and they ask me so many funny questions. I don't think any of them have ever been to the US so I am excited to share a bit of myself with them this year. I am really looking forward to this upcoming year!!
After I got home today, I took full advantage of the Siesta and just lazily sat around the house and took a nap. I made some dinner (btw, cooking here is really hard... the ingredients and food are so different so that is a little challenge for me every day but I am sure I will get used to it) and then I decided to sit on the terrace and watch my favorite show, So You Think You Can Dance. I finally found a website where they put all the episodes online!!! It really made my week- haha. Now if only I could figure out how to watch a live Broncos game! Anyway, I was sitting there having a nice little dinner when out of no where the biggest f-ing cockroach I have ever seen was crawling around under the table!!! AH!!!! I screamed super loud, ran in the apartment and jumped on the couch and started crying. Needless to say, my Spanish roommates (along with Abbey) were all cracking up at me while I was making them go on the terrace to get rid of the thing. Well it ran back down the pipes but it took a lot of courage for me to go back outside to get my computer and the rest of my dinner. Needless to say, I wont be enjoying my terrace anymore for tonight.
This weekend my Italian friends that I met along with some other American girls from the program are going to a city called Tarife which is on the very southern coast of Spain on the Straight of Gibralter. We rented a boat and we are going to hang out and go dolphin and whale watching! We will also spend some time in the city as well. I am very excited for that and I will definitely tell you guys how it is!
Well that is about all for now, sorry this blog was so boring! I will have more exciting ones to come! Miss you and love you all!
