Feels like I haven't left a post in a long time but it's only been four days. The work really picks up when you get into a routine and when school in Spain doesn't finish until 5PM!! To the person who thought that having teachers work until 5 or that you could keep children focused that late in the day, we would have words.
Anyway the reference to the zebra stripes comes from something I learned today while driving home with Marga. Apparently the good ol crosswalks I grew up with have a different name here in Malgrat. The zebra stripes they are called and I think that the name is pretty darn cool.
Another reason I wasn't as bloggatively active this week is because getting sick finally caught up to me. I knew it eventually would, I didn't think even my high powered American immune system could protect me forever, and now I'm suffering through long days teaching and having feelings of nasal cavity collapse. It's all good and well though because I'm proceeding to overdose daily on meds in an attempt to be ready for the long weekend. Monday is a holiday here. Don't know why but I'm not complaining. Me and the host fam are headed to the mountains this weekend (pics to come) and I would like to be able to breathe come Saturday/Sunday.
I'll leave a more detailed post this weekend along with a recap video but I wanted to get a quick word in before I head off to the land of panoramic views and thinner air.
