Height of professionalism...

Okay, so my tutor absolutely made my day today. Well, actually, I think it might have made my week. She said 'shit' instead of 'ship', in front of the whole class of five year olds (who, of course, didn't cotton onto the fact that anything was amiss), but it took ALL of the professionalism not to burst out laughing. I REALLY had to concentrate on staying composed, but I managed it, and continued with the activity, not before repeating the word 'ship' though...didn't want the kids saying 'I took a shit to America' ;)

Talking of shit though...one of the kids in my class is having serious problems with asking to go to the toilet, in that he doesnt ask, then proceeds to wet himself or worse...Its happened twice while I've been teaching the class and I feel really sorry for the kid but at the same time I wish he'd learn to ask to go to the toilet. I think he might have some sort of disability though cos he waves his arms and head around a bit too much for my liking. At times I wonder how he's not fallen off his chair from being dizzy.

Anyway, Spanish classes update! They're going well. I felt ridiculously stupid at Tuesday's class, not understanding some of what was going on. But then today we went over the homework he set us (homework...from night classes...what a slavedriver :P) and I'd got pretty much everything right, so I must've understood more than I thought :) I quite enjoyed today's lesson, and didn't feel as tired as I thought I would once we'd finished, but I went to Starbucks for a Caramel Frappuccino anyway (you can't seriously expect me to walk past Starbucks and not go in!)

I'm also feeling quite upbeat atm (effect of lots of coffee?). Lol but seriously, I was feeling so homesick last weekend and at the start of this week...so much so that I was in tears on Monday and Tuesday. But then I watched The Holiday and ate one hell of a lot of shortbread and I've perked up a bit :) This weekend will be filled with exploring, sleeping, eating and chilling, then maybe next weekend I'll start exploring properly (Granada, Barcelona, Toledo, Sevilla...not quite sure where to go first to be honest!)

I think that's all I'm going to post for know...I know I said I'd post pictures, but I'm a lazy git and can't be bothered with it right now. Maybe tomorrow when I eventually drag my arse out of bed, who knows? ;) <3 xxx
