I am not a water park

The title is a quote from one of my newest students. Although I didn't really understand it, my student cracked himself up for a good, solid minute with that one. Yes, the life in Spain isn't too shabby. I have four new students...two business students and two more kids. Of course, I'm still not making a billion dollars, but I am proud to say that we are continuing to pay all the bills. YEAH!

Being with my two newest students is like being at camp again. They talk at 90,000 miles and hour, sometimes in English, sometimes in Spanish, sometimes to each other, sometimes to me, and sometimes just in case someone is listening. During our first class, I withdrew from the deafening noise to just observe, and I have decided that those children are crazy. Thus, we should have a good time. We will most likely have a discipline chart, and some sizzling glares, but we will have a good time. :)

One of my adults also told me that I like the theatre. I told her to practice her upcoming presentation in the mirror. This is a valid suggestion that I have used many times and has been given to me to by Spanish teachers, as well. However, to my student, this was just another one of my "zany" suggestions. She replied, "Yes, but you like the theatre." Since this was utterly unexpected, I burst out laughing and she said, "Yes, yes, you like the theatre. I know." She seems to "know" a lot more than me, but I have my doubts. Well, back to my life of not being a water park.

What up, g's. Greetings from 2009. It's a pretty good year so far and I've had some fun with it. Over the break I got to see a lot of free concerts and go to a few different events, like this squishy parade (by that I mean I was basically unable to move physically due to crowding) and some fireworks. I can't post pictures yet because most of my pictures were on my computer. As many of you know, my computer is dead (hopefully temporarily). My son, Timmy the Translator, has also died. Unfortunately.

Other than that, life is good. I'll post funny anecdotes as they come.

Suck Buckets

So, my computer is broken. I hope it's a problem that can be fixed by buying a new cord. Even if that's the case, it will take a few weeks for the cord to ship from a supplier to the parental's house and from there to Spain. I'll be away from Skype and the internet in general till then. I'll have some limited access at work, so I can respond to some e-mails, but other than that...

I'll be moping a bit.
