An interesting realization

There are officially more posts on this blog than there are days left until I leave Spain.

I am sickly, and it is highly lame. Especially since we have class tomorrow (blasphemous) and I am going to be in Madrid all day Saturday and Sunday. Needless to say it is unfortunate. I am hoping that it clears up in the next two days or so to something tolerable, because the whole coughing every five minutes thing has shredded my throat and it hurts. But enough of the complaining.

This week has been more or less uneventful. I had a very successful class with the children that I tutor Tuesday, which was exciting, because there happened to be a chalkboard and I decided we would illustrate English words. They enjoyed that, and didn't attack one another but once or twice. So that was exciting. Though I'm not sure how much English they are learning, since they don't seem to care much or understand anything I say when I talk to them in English. Except apple. And colors. So I'm not sure how that works really. It would help if there was any way for me to communicate with them about how much they think they're learning, but I don't know if they can get their minds around that, as they're very small. It would help if I had some idea of what their normal curriculum was in Spanish. Then I would know how much of what I was explaining they understood, in either language.

Still, its a job, and not the worst one I've had, though tiring. And they really aren't bad children, just hyperactive. So that's good. Makes me think twice about ever wanting to be a parent though lol. If all children are that rambunctious, I don't know if my poor antisocial self can deal.

With that said, it is time for dinner, so I had best be on my way. I have an exam to study for and a nap to take, probably not in that order.
