Personally, I like writing blog entries instead of doing homework. Don’t you?
I thought this new class would be challenging in a good way. No. Challenging in a bad way. My teacher is a nice woman but she’s all over the place and trying to squish in sooo many things in three short weeks. Three short weeks – don’t remind me. The thought of this being over makes me so sad. But you can’t count the days, you have to make the days count. So I am. Tomorrow. I’m just really tired tonight, so I’m staying in and attempting to do homework, and it’s not working.
This morning I went to my volunteering thing, as I do every Wednesday. I talked to the kids a lot today and had a really good time. The one boy is the cutest thing ever. He’s in kindergarten and super-tiny. He came in today with a hat and starting singing and dancing. Apparently he had a fiesta in class today that he needed to wear this get-up to. It was the absolute cutest thing ever. When I left, things turned for the worse for a little bit. I went to take the bus to class, and it never showed up. After 20 minutes I got a taxi – and paid 7 euros for it. Not cool. That’s an expensive taxi ride. Whatever, I got to class on time. Not like class was fun. My job was to draw a picture of a robber that a classmate described. Image: attached (no, it’s not the photograph of me at the park….good joke though).
After class, I went home and had lunch. I can’t even remember what I ate that’s how long this day has been! She said I looked very tired and should just go take a nap…so I did and I felt 100 times better after! Went to the gym to run, then came back and got ready because at 7:30 I was to go to the Plaza de España to walk around with friends and go on a row boat! SO FUN. This place is what I referred to in another posts. I’m putting the pictures up today (Thursday) from the past week or so. I really enjoyed row boating. I thought I never had done it before, then I remembered I have been in a kayak with Lexi summer before 9th grade at Outer Banks! Good practice. Haha. Anyway, I liked this activity because CIEE workers go, and they are people our age that are from Sevilla, so I can practice Spanish. I really hope I am improving. I know for a fact my listening ability is so much better. Sometimes I don’t even realize if I’m being spoken to in English or Spanish! Code Switching. Good for my brain. Bilinguals are less likely to develop Alzheimers – right John?
Came home, ate dinner, and now I’m doing homework. It’s a little after midnight, which is still “early” here, but my eyes are so tired! So I’ll do a little more homework then go to bed. I just wanted to do an update to procrastinate!
Besos a todos ☺
