mi piso bonito!

Holaaaa!

I will begin this blog apologizing for my delayed postings. Life in Sevilla is amazing as I always say but we still do not have internet in our piso so it makes it hard to keep this blog updated but I shall try my best! Starbucks and me are now in a serious relationship however I keep having to shell out the money for our dates. It's getting a little old at this point. So I am hoping in the next week or two our relationship shall be kaput.

Anyways I will stop complaining about my internet situation. So far I am loving my school. My little students are absolutely preciosas! I am teaching a mix of 1st-6th grade. This week is my first week to plan lessons and all that jazz. I planned a fun solar system bingo game for my little third graders this morning and they loved it. I had to teach my 4th graders about the hemispheres (they were not so interested) they started at me with blank stares and mouths open. I even had a fun game called sunglasses or scarf in which I give them the name of a country and which hemisphere it is and depending on the month would they need sunglasses (summer) or a scarf (winter). I thought it was very clever but I do not think they enjoyed therefore that class was a bit of a bust. BUT I adore my little 2nd graders. They are learning about the parts of the body so I came up with a crazy interactive game and things just got wild so we had to cut the game short haha! Long story short my days are always interesting at mi escuela. However I just found out today that I will be teaching at TWO schools now. The other school is still in Espartinas so that was good news. But now I will be spending Monday and Weds @ my school now and then Tues and Thurs at my new school. Im sure everything will go good!

AND NOW....what you have all been waiting for PICTURES OF MY PISO! :) Ok so I will give you a little background on it. We live in el centro very close to alfalfa and Plaza del Salvador...EXCELLANT LOCATION for all of you who have been to Sevilla before! I love our apartment except at night it gets pretty loud. I've heard lots of ladies have fights with their boyfriends on the street around 5 am at night...oh Espanaaa!

We have a holiday on weds which means NO WORK! holla! I am in the process of finding some clases particulares (english tutoring). I will not be getting paid from the junta until around november aka I am pobre. SOOO I need to start finding some tutoring work pronto!
