I'm back in Jaén, have been for about three weeks. I arrived in Jaén and it was snowing- Minnesota had followed me. Ever since then it has been raining practically every day, which has prevented me from doing my laundry (for those of you who don't know, there are no dryers in Spain).
I'm back though. It was a hard transition coming back, but I've come to accept that I'm just not good with transitions.
I have two private classes now- I teach two girls, 10 and 12 years old, on Monday and Wednesdays. Some weeks, I speak in English with their father for an hour who is going into international business and needs to practice speaking.
On Tuesdays, Sarah and I are teaching a free English class at the immigration center- I have not started this class yet but I'm excited to see how it will go. Basically I'm just grateful that I'm starting to have things to fill my time, it's what I needed. I might join a yoga class on Thursday nights too.
I saw the google map car and it was like I saw a celebrity- i freaked out and took a picture on my phone.
I have a legit friend at school that I go and eat breakfast with during recess and who I've hung out with a couple times outside of the high school- it's nice.
Students are collecting money for Haiti, it's impressive to see how all countries are responding to this crisis, gives me a little bit of faith in humanity.
One of my roommates left to go live with her Boyfriend in Málaga. He had a good bye dinner for her where we made chicken fajitas and then for desert I made pancakes- they were a hit, although I think they liked the syrup better than the pancake. I'm sad to see Ana go because she is the one who I would spend most of my days talking with. A guy is moving in who is a friend with my other roommate Karen and, like Karen, is studying social work.
This Thursday I'm going to Morocco. Trip to Africa for 30 Euros.... not bad.
