Encontré trabajo! I found a job (or two). One of the teachers at the school wants me to help her kids with English! She’s got a 15-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter. Both seem very nice. Their bird pooped on me and I was given coca cola and shown the game room.
I think I will like it there.
I had THREE, count them, THREE intercambio dates today. Borja, Alexis, and Pilar. They’re all awesome and I spent most of the day not being home. Aside from two 5-10 minute visits to drop stuff off and leave again, I was out from 8:45 to 22:10. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Riiight? That’s what I thought. Also, I’m glad the world in NY is spinning without me, as we all knew it would, but I’m still missing the city sometimes. Especially the Latinos because, let’s face it, European Spanish-speakers and Latin American Spanish-speakers are just not the same. Especially my City College people (you know who you are).
There are a few more teachers looking to hire students from the University to practice English with their kids, and I’m so willing to help out. Also, I found a theater group that might want me. I speak no level of theater-ready Spanish, but if they’ll have me, I think I’ll go for it!!!
Excited, Scared, Tired, and ready for tomorrow (haha)
Love,
Julia
