Waiting...

I'm sitting at home, on my bed. It's hot and the dog is whining. I have to wake up at six a.m. tomorrow and stack heavy boards all day. I'm done with this summer. I just want it to be September 16 so that I am done with work and can start focusing on getting ready to fly out. I am tired of waiting.

I finally got some information about my call today. Ana Lugo my contact in Spain emailed me with a list of school vacations and other useful information. I found out that I'll be staying with a family that lives close to the school. I found out that she will be there to pick me up when I arrive in Madrid! However the most interesting thing I found out is that I will not be the sole English teacher as I had thought. It seems that I will be a teachers assistant. From what Ana said I think that I will be helping the English teacher most of the time, but also be available to fill in for any other teacher that needs a day off. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Although I was looking forward to my own classroom and trying to figure out how to teach all on my own, it's probably for the best that I have someone who knows what they are doing to help me. After all I don't want to mess up and ruin these kids or something. :)


I doubt I'll update this blog much at all until my leave date nears but I wanted to get it set up ahead of time.

I'll see you then!
