not too much going on this week! i've been pretty busy with private classes... i now have four a week so i'm keeping busy! on tuesdays i tutor two different kids from 4:30-5:30 then 6-7:30, wednesday two boys from 4:45-5:45, then thursdays from 4:30-5:30 and then very young kids from 6 to whenever we actually accomplish something. so unfortunately, during the week i don't have much time for a siesta anymore, since i get home at 2:30 and then make lunch.
in school, the kids have been learning christmas songs. the other day i walked into school to hear the younger kids screaming "joy to the world!" then in one of my fourth grade classes they're learning rudolph, and the 12 days of christmas in the other. i was pretty impressed with the 12 days of christmas since i usually can't remember past 8 maids-a-milking... (i think its... 9 ladies dancing... 10 lords-a-leaping....11 pipers piping.... 12 drummers drumming. but i'm never sure). also this week i got a little note from a 4th grader that said "Maria Elisabeth. My name is Eva. You are fantastic. Happy Chistmas." it made my whole week!!! that's one of the things i love about teaching... the kids are so friendly and always say hi to me, and the younger ones usually cheer when i come in the room. it makes you feel so good!
last night my two friends and i went to a our spanish friends' house for a party! they're really awesome and even though it was a little intimidating at first, their friends were all really nice and actually talked to us so we didn't have to stand awkwardly in the corner. we were so tired when we left though, and decided that speaking spanish for that long is really exhausting.
this week i only have two days of class, monday and wednesday. for some reason, their holidays this week are on tuesday and thursday. basically the kids are going to be absolutely insane. but then on thursday i'm jetting off to paris! i can't wait!!!
I wish I had a 2 day work week and was heading off to Paris for 4 days!
