What Ricky Martin Song Would You Sing?

Tuesday March 25, 2008

Today was our first day with our new teacher Carman, who is Tracy "replacement." Tracy made it back to the States unharmed and will be having her baby in the near future. But Carmen is a really relaxed and intelligent lady. She is going to make the transition really easy, and I already like her a lot. In general, we have really lucked out with our teachers here in Sevilla; they are all really good resources and amazing to work with.

 In other news, I had my ONG tonight and I didn’t drown any children. It was another successful week. Although there was one kid who kept chucking nerf-ish balls at my head, and the thought may have crossed my mind. Other than that we had a really good night, swam a lot and joked around with the kids and director. I think that I may have agreed to go to a karaoke club to sing Ricky Martin this Thursday, so I’ll let you know how that works out. If you have any favorites of Mr. Martin’s, just let me know and I’ll see what I can do! I’m pretty sure it was a joke, but sarcasm is sometimes hard to pick up in a foreign language. So if I find myself singing, I’ll take pictures and make sure to share the stories!

 Today was our host moms “saint day.” She is named after Saint Encarnation, hence Encarna, and we had to celebrate somehow (she insisted), therefore we had peaches for dessert. I didn’t really understand it, but it worked out in our favor nonetheless. I mean honestly, usually when I want to celebrate something, I eat peaches. Who doesn’t? What a win-win situation!
