So, I really thought a few weekends ago that spring was on its way to Madrid. Boy, was I wrong! The weather this week has been completely bi-polar! One minute it's sunny and blue skies, and a few minutes later, dark clouds are rolling in, the wind is so strong it pushes people back, and the rain is freezing cold. Last night I had to walk home in the rain. It wasn't fun because the wind was so heavy, I promise it was out to get my umbrella! I thought the poor thing wasn't going to make it, but it held up! I also realized that it wasn't the best day to wear fishnets....I dressed up yesterday because we had administrator visits at school, so I thought I should look professional. I begged my kids to behave themselves. Today, the sky was so weird - one side would be blue and the other side gray, filled with clouds. I started off the day wearing sunglasses and ended walking up underneath my umbrella. Thankfully, the wind was nice to me tonight :)
At school all this week, the kids have had a race for the cause type thing. The school actually sponsors and school in Burkina Faso, in western Africa. This year's "carrera" was to contra hambre (raise money for hunger). It was so much fun! Tomorrow, we are having a celebration to end the week.
Mid-terms started on Tuesday for me - I got an A on my Spanish for Business test!!!! This weekend (with the exception of Saturday, when I go play in the snow with Amigos de Jesus!) is going to be devoted to studying and more studying, No relaxing for me this weekend :( I have three tests on Wednesday, one on Thursday, and the final one on Friday. Luckily, I have a five pound bag of Sour Patch Kids to get me through it all!
Just another example of how blessed I am with wonderful co-workers/principals this year: in my Spanish literature class, we have to give a presentation in a few months on a topic or author. I spoke with my professor after class yesterday about researching Santa Teresa de Jesus (my school is based on her principles). I explained to my professor that I worked at the school and wanted to research her anyways. She gave me the okay and I was telling a co-worker about it this morning. Soon after, my co-worker ran me down and had two books with her based on Santa Teresa - one is an illustrated, comic-type book on her life that belongs to my principal, and the other is a small book that has the majority of her writings. The latter is an extra copy that belonged to the school, so they gave it to me! How lucky am I! Plus, my co-workers offered to help me with my presentation!
Just another perfect example of how God has blessed me since I've been here!
