This week has been crazy! I´ve had trip-planning meetings almost every night in addition to studying for the three tests I have this week and getting an English teaching job. I have no time for sleep!
Well, as I just mentioned, I finally got an English teaching job. I´m teaching a 14-year-old girl named Irene (pronounced ee-ray-nay). She is so sweet as are her parents. However, she´s been learning English since she was 3, so she´s already fluent. We´re just having conversation classes so she´s able utilize her English. She´s very polite and kind of shy so I was having trouble coming up with things to talk about. Oh, and she also knows French! So cool!
I have officially decided that I hate trip-planning. It takes such a long time and it´s so complicated. I know it will be worth , though, when I´m actually there. At one of our trip-planning meetings, we were in an internet cafe and the bartender decided she hated us enough to turn off the WiFi. The next night when the group went back there for another meeting, she turned the music volume up super high so they couldn´t hear each other. We don´t go there anymore.
Yesterday, I finally got to check out Campo Grande, the huge park in the city here. There are peacocks everywhere there! I took tons of photos but I don´t have them with me so I can´t post them quite yet. But it was really awesome!
Now, I am getting ready and getting very excited for Barcelona tomorrow! Look forward to a blog post all about it sometime next week!
