I am probably the worst blogger ever
Very sorry. It´s been nearly 2 months now, and I dont even have time to write a proper long entry.
Needless to say I have been working like a mad woman, and after a minor emotional breakdown brought on by lack of sleep and students pissing me off, I am beginning to feel normal again.
I have had a crazy couple of months......leaving the house at about 6.30am and getting home about 9pm 6 days a week. And I also seem to have the "I can´t say no to anything that might sound like it could be fun" disease, so I have managed to utterly wear myself out, resulting in me being unable to get out of bed one recent Monday morning.
However....after only a few days of actually getting some rest and staying in of an evening after work, I am feeling my usual splendid self!
This is also helped by the glorious weather - I went to the park on Sunday and had to go and sit in the shade because I was worried about getting sunburnt.
So...new things with me......
I have become a bit of a yoga addict - I go without fail every week (twice if possible) to enjoy the natural high that is brought on by Koodiyookigoogoo yoga (or something like that). It chills me out and makes me feel better about not doing any proper exercise. I can now also chant in both Spanish and Sanskrit, (which is useful) and my Spanish "body" vocabulary is really rather good.
I am now 23. I had a lovely birthday full of fun and practical presents (including a can of baked beans and a pair of knickers) and a birthday cake with candles at 8am. My students did not learn any English that day.
I went to the theatre. Which was interesting. It was a comedy about love and sex and was performed at such high speed that I just sat there looking abit puzzled while everyone around me roared with laughter. An interesting experience though.
I am making plans for Semana Santa (or Easter to us normal people). It is a BIG deal to all the Catholic peeps in this neck of the woods, and I get a whole week off work, so some day trips a little further afield are required. I cannot wait.....mainly because it means I won´t have to get out of bed until maybe...ooh...8am, and can eat all the seasonal delicacies that I am sure will abound.
I have not been robbed recently. Although someone on the metro did try...but I was quicker than he was the little bugger. I now leave the house expecting to come back empty-handed.
I am actually earning some real money. This is very exciting for me....as I am always poor....and I must remember not to spend it all in one go on ridiculous things like Spanish omelette and flamenco shoes.
I think my travel feet are getting itchy again, so I am busy planning a summer full of Spanish fun. I can´t wait to pack up my rucksack, get on a train and explore the country for 7 whole weeks! If anyone is out this way then, let me know and I will come and find you. We get the whole of July and August off, so I won´t have to be back at work until September. Yay!!
Ok, so that is me for now. I have to go now and chant my way to enlightenment in Yoga class.
Lots of love to you all.....and of course besos
