Spanish class gets better with every lesson. What with the senorita pollo sitting on my right, and senorita de bailar on my left (I'm not sure if the names are grammatically correct in Spanish), and loco gente all around, I never fall asleep in the class. (I used to, whilst learning French. Everyone was too damn quiet.)
We're lucky. Our Spanish teacher has gone beyond just spoon feeding us with vocabulary, grammar, and conjugation. The main element that keeps me awake is the high level of interactivity in the class. His questions always review what has been taught before, and he'll direct the questions to a specific person. That's why everybody's wide awake and keeping on their toes.
Then - my favourite - there's the speed dating part. Or so I call it. Because what he does is to split us into groups to make conversation, and then rotate the people, over and over again. Sometimes, before we even finish the conversation, he rotates. It's quick and an effective refresher for the Spanish language. Muy bien!
In other news, I have once again returned to the ranks of the unemployed! Yipee! It's languidness all over again as I wake up no earlier than 9, rot at home when I want to, hang out with friends when I want to, sleep when I want to, and do everything else I wanted to do in this long break - i.e. polish my guitar-playing, go on a mini photography expedition, read my incomplete books, and intensify the frequency of those driving lessons.
Wahoo! No more dealing with the office bitch (Yes, there was one.), and no more dealing with hoity toity people. For now at least - I know there's more to come next time, but I'll deal with it when it comes. That said, working there was generally an eye-opening experience. Now that I've gotten a taste of what both the private and government sector is like, I think I have an idea of where I want to start in future.
