¿ESCANDALÚ? NO LO CREO, PERO TODAVÍA DIVERTIDO
Pepa left us on Tuesday morning to go to her town in Almería because she cannot see out of her left eye. She is very calm about it, she told us that it has happened before, she just needs to see her doctor and she should be fine in a few weeks. We think she will be back this weekend. She seemed to be more concerned that it meant she couldn´t drink alcohol (due to her medication) for about 4 weeks.
Wednesday night I went to an intercambio, where people go to practice languages. I obviously went to practice my Spanish, and most of the people there were Spanish or Latin American and wanted to practice their English. I went with my friend Jen from NC. The intercambio was a lot of fun for me, partially because almost everyone there was a native speaker of English. Other than Jen and me there was a girl from Texas and another from Iceland. I spoke with the Icelandic girl for a while about our respective countries because I happened to be wearing my jacket from the University there.
The intercambio was also a lot of fun because I got some compliments about how good my English was because everyone thought I was granadíno (from Granada)
-Thursday night was another very interesting night for me. I went out to dinner with most of my co-workers from school. Dinner, in Spanish fashion started around 1030pm. We ate for a few hours. It was a fun dynamic because I rarely see more than 2 or 3 of the other teachers at the same time. Veronica, one of the English teachers is in her late 20s I believe and then there are 3 student teachers and me in our early 20s. All of the other teachers are at least in their late 30s, but based on Thursday night you would think our ages were reversed. Some of the older teachers kept joking all night that since we were the newbies in the school it was our turn to do a strip tease for the rest of the teachers, and that we had to pay the bill. However, in the end they refused any money from me or the student teachers. After dinner we went to the Plaza de Toros (Bull Ring) and went to a club. Alvaro (a student teacher), Veronica and I left around 3am because aside from me all the other teachers had to work in the morning. When we left, there were still about 6 teachers partying it up.
See you later aligators,
After while crocodiles,
Ciao cows!
