I've met a few of my classes and now I'm waiting to start another. Although I haven't really gotten to know my students all that much, my first impression is a positive one. They seem like good kids that will participate and make the classes interesting. More on that later.
I mentioned that I wanted to take a Spanish class here and until now, I've been looking at a few schools but they haven't gotten back to me. Today, in the teacher's room, I met one of the Spanish teachers here and we're going to do a language exchange. Conversation- something like a half hour in Spanish and a half hour in English. Apparently, she used to be an English teacher but realizes she's forgotten some of the "beautiful words" she used to know. I told her I took Spanish courses for 5 years and can't say more than a few words. I'll let you all know how this goes...
The gym is great so far. I mean, this place is just decked out. A women's volleyball team from Brazil was actually practicing there the last time I went.My host sister says we should take a picture soon to put on the blog. Yesterday, I used the swimming pool which is amazing. Luckily for me, there are slow, medium, and fast lanes so you don't have to share with Michael Phelps.
P.S. Niki (the pitbull) had her first birthday yesterday. :)
