Well, another week has come to an end. How quickly this week went. Teaching today was pretty easy. My second graders had to take a test today, so I administered the speaking part with them. They all did really good and their accents are so cute! I wonder if I have a cute Spanish accent :) The second hour, the fourth, fifth, and sixth graders had an assembly, so I had to go sit with my bad, I mean, mischievous sixth graders. There was an orchestra quintet that came and played. It was really cheesy if you ask me. After breakfast, I had to do a test review with my fourth graders (who were a mess, behavior wise) and then I ended my day doing art class with my first graders.
I was so ready to come home. I quickly ate lunch and then hopped in the bed for a siesta. During the week, I never get to take a siesta, so I take full advantage of them on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I had only been asleep for an hour when I was awaken by the sound of hammers pounding outside of the window. I tried to go back to sleep, but it was to no avail. I finally got up and piddled around.
Someone I knew from UT was in Madrid this past week and I didn't know she was here until last night. I ended up meeting her and her co-workers and took them to some shopping districts, because I am a pro at this. And NO, I did not purchase anything. Even though I saw this pair of orange leather heels that were marked down to thirty euros. I picked them up and held them in my hand, before letting them go. After all, I have my trip to Italy in three weeks, plus Christmas presents, and a plane ticket to plan for....After I took them to the proper metro station, my friend Brenna and I walked to Malasana and had dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Our meal was amazingly delicious!
So, here I am, sitting in the bed, winding down. I am planning on sleeping in until eleven-ish tomorrow, and then I have to hit the books. Well, hit the computer, I should say. I have two essay plans due next week, and a research paper due at the end of the month. How much fun!
Happy Weekend!
Quote of the Day: "Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter." -Oprah
Spanish Word of the Day: Tacones - high heeled shoes :) - I cannot wait to come home and kiss all of my shoes that I have neglected for the past three months. I want to wear a pair of heels a day. Even if I'm going to the grocery store :) I miss them so!
Prayer Request of the Day: Pray that I will stay focused during these next three weeks of school. I have papers to write and don't want to wait until the last minute.
