so high school is different. i've already started into my second week. i feel quite inadequate at this point, but luckily i have a pretty supportive teacher who is encouraging me to just stick with it- it just seems lame that i'm so afraid. but i have to speak completely in Spanish, and that's a bit difficult considering how long it's been since i've had to be "fluent" (think Spain 2007). the kids aren't quite as receptive but i think they are warming up to me, thankfully. i do feel like once we start this new unit that i am creating it will be pretty straight forward, and i can have a lot of fun with them. i'm so ready to be done with all this! although too i will admit that once i get my own classroom i will probably have no idea what i'm doing.
funny quotes of the day:
Teacher: Can somebody look up "nail"? Mischievous Student: "Hmmm, here's "to nail". Teacher: Um no. just nail, thanks. (class laughter ensues).
Said by student, in Spanish: I have some good and bad news. I am going to be a father.
