My first class started at 10 and I was there a little early to have a little tour of all the different classes that I will be assisting in. I will be helping with 4 different teachers in 15 different classes..
The school I am at is called IES Antenea and the highschools here are from ages 12-17. I have the first 3 grades 1*-3* which means most of my kids are 12-15. This is a bilingual school and the classes that I will be assisting are taught in Enlgish. I will be helping with Enlgish and Science classes. All of the classes are at different levels of english. Today in the first class the professor introduced me and had the class take notes about everything I said. haha Then they asked questions about my life..for the entire class period.
Long story short they had homework about rewriting my personal info from their notes and to look up John Mayer "Vultures" song. haha
They asked my soccer team which is a very loaded question..haha so I didn´t answer. Also they were fascinated that I can surf or have ever been in my life. My mistake I said I love to go to the beach and "there are a lot of beaches in California.." To them..I just said there are a lot of BITCHES...to a bunch of 14 year olds..with the different vowel sounds I have to be careful.hahhahahahaha
I finished the train ride around 4, one of the head supervisors was nice enough to drive me to the train stop!:)
I don´t have my keys to my place yet and my roomies weren´t back yet...so I went back on the train then metro to my friend Annie´s house. Took a siesta, went on a run and made dinner with friends at her place..Nothing more American then Mac and Cheese and garlic bread..haha carbs on carbs..plus chicken.
I was super stressed about today and I just had in my mind that these kids would eat me alive. Turns out they were all really excited to have a real live English speaker helping out in their classes! Well for the first day!
haha I just am expecting the worst but hoping for the best.
ahhh soooo tired.
Ciao! besitos!!!
