Part time teacher, Full time traveler

I am an official language assistant at Instituto de Educacion Secundaria in La Roda de Andalucia.

My high school has about 250 kids, so it is a bit like Redeemer. For those of you who don’t know me from high school, I graduated with 20 kids in my class, and we had the largest graduating class. Fun size portion. I feel like I will have all their full names down by the end of the year.

For the next 8 months I will be responsible for effectively communicating high school math in English. Again if anyone was not in high school with me, let’s take it back for a minute. I am horrible at math, awful, absolutely terrible. Also, I avoided it like the plague in college. Why do we think I have two concentrations that are purely about language? I’ll tell you. 1. I love them. 2. Because I am terrible at math.

Ok great. So I have to communicate math to a classroom of Spanish high school children in a foreign language. We’ll see how this goes, I’ll keep you updated. Brighter side – maybe it’ll help with GRE prep?

Also the rest of my schedule is one on one English class with professors. One includes the headmaster, who on day one was sporting a quicksilver shirt that stated “ghetto dog” on it, jeans, and some skater shoes. So obviously, pretty chill. I think it’ll be fun. We think that these classes exist because this small school of 250 and all of about 10 classrooms could not come up with 24 hours of language classes for myself and the other auxiliary, Sam, who I live with and is from Leeds, England. I am pretty excited about the classes. It’ll be fun to get to know some of the professors and just talk.

I also know when the holidays are for my school, and I do not work on Fridays. So I will be starting to plan trips, like today. Let me know if you’re trying to travel with me, as in when do you want to go to Greece marangelie?
