I'm going to post about my Semana Santa trip soon. I swear!
1) I'm reading Twilight. Actually, it's Crepusculo, because I'm reading it in Spanish. Don't you dare judge me! I'm only reading it to help my vocabulary. Already I've learned that aterciopelada means "velvety" and empapada means "soaked." See? SEE?? I'm not one of those Twilight people. It's not like I love Robert Pattinson or anything. I certainly don't spend precious hours of my time watching videos of him on Youtube. Now, that would be ridiculous. I'm much too important, glamorous, and international for a schoolgirl crush. Pff. Hah. HAH!
2) I only have 5 weeks of school left and 7 weeks of living in Bilbao left. Oh...my...god. El tiempo vuela! It's shocking. Honestly, the end of school can't come quickly enough because I'm out of ideas and motivation for teaching those bastard teenagers. Actually, I'm not going to have any Batxillerato students from here on out because they have to prepare for their big end-of-the-year exam, so they can't waste their time playing English Pictionary with the American girl. Kind of sucks, because I'll be stuck with the ESO kids (ages 12-16) for the next five weeks. Maybe I should do a lesson about Zac Efron. That might work.
Sidenote (in case anyone cares): Batxillerato students are between 17 and 18 years old. Actually, I have some super senior 21-year-olds...Anyway, Batxillerato is similar to the last two years of high school in the US, but here in Spain, they're not mandatory. You go to ESO (high school) and then at 16 you decide if you want to continue with your formal education (Batxiller) or go to vocational school or quit because your uncle has a cushy job prepared for you in his taller (workshop) or something.
3) I've misplaced (or someone has stolen) my iPod. It's been a sad week without it. Sigh. I always felt I was on borrowed time with that thing.
