Saturday, January 15, 2011—Today

Saturday morning we went to Albacete, Jesús, Teodora, Richart and I. We left at 9:00ish, but didn’t get there until after 10:30 because it was terribly foggy and hard to see. We pretty much stayed in one mall the entire time…but it was huge and there were several floors, so there was a ton of stores to choose from! I didn’t walk away with too much (if you can believe that!), a couple of shirts, a sweater and a red wool coat that was on sale for 30€! (originally it was 70!). We lunched at this Barbeque/Spanish buffet afterwards in a nearby town and it was very good!

Sunday evening Jesús and I went to watch Real Madrid play (soccer!) at the tetería. They tied 1-1 and Jesús was mad. I was like “Dude, tying’s better than losing!”, but he was still mad…whatever. We came back here afterwards and ordered some yummy Chinese!

I gave an English class to one of my students in sixth level Monday afternoon. We’re going to meet at his house at four every Monday and then I giving his little brother, who’s in second, a lesson Every Thursday at four. He had an English exam yesterday, so I helped him study for that. Not sure what I’ll be doing with his brother tomorrow though…

Yesterday night I met with Sheldon (real name = Alfredo, but he looks like the guy from the Big Bang Theory, so we, Gunita, Will, Arturo and I, call him Sheldon…and Jesús has started calling him Sheldon now too! Haha!) for about an hour and a half and we just talked about the week, partly in English and Spanish. He wanted to meet again either today or tomorrow, so we’re meeting at six again today…I have no idea what we’re gonna talk about though…it’ll be interesting.

Today, with Rocío’s classes, we talked about Martin Luther King Jr. We watched an excerpt from “I Have a Dream” and they did a coloring sheet (yes, MLK coloring sheets exist…it was taken from a British website, no less!) and we watched Michael Jackson’s Heal The World.

I stopped at the store on my way home to get some more apples. I had had a bunch at home, but I threw them away this morning because when we went to Mercadona on Friday I dropped like the entire bag and they were all bruised. I didn’t think really anything of it at the time and was like “they’ll be fine”, but I grabbed one this morning and decided to toss them. I took that one to school and ate a little bit of it, but the bruise kinda grossed me out, so I threw a good portion of that one away too.

Tomorrow’s the last day of the work week (for me, at least!) YAY!

Xoxo,
