Monday was my first official day at the school where I actually followed my schedule. My first 2 hours are with the 3 year olds. They're cute. I've never been afraid of germs or anything but I couldn't help being dismayed by at the snot and uncovered coughs and I think I sat there wide-eyed thinking "oh no! there's no hope to me not getting sick several times this year." My last class of the day is with a group of 5 year olds. And they're pretty crazy. I have a fan club of boys in that class. Like the whole time they're calling me "guapa" (beautiful), asking if I have a boyfriend or if I want to be their girlfriend. It's really funny but at the same time a little much for me. The teacher just lets them go on and I get to use the excuse that I don't understand anything they're saying. But it'll be an interesting 8 months with these kids. Oh, and 2 of them are twins (one named Alejandro. hahaha) and I keep running into them outside of school. I can't escape my five year old fan club.
After school I went out for Chinese with some of the teachers and that was fun. Then we had a meeting followed by an English class for some of the teachers. I didn't know what to expect or how to prepare so it was a little awkward. I only had to do a little part of the lesson though. Like the conversational part.
After that I was invited to go out for drinks with 3 of the younger teachers and the one guy's girlfriend. And that was a ton of fun. They're hilarious. The taught me a whole bunch of phrases and sayings and slang and whatnot which I love to learn. I'm excited to use them all. haha. We were out until 11 and then I went back to the piso. Esther moved in so now we're complete. And she brought a TV so that's nice too. And that's about it. I should get going cuz I have a 3rd grade class to go :)
So far, they still think I don't speak Spanish and they teach me random words like "sunglasses"
