It's been a while...

Hello! It's been more than a month - how crazy. Many things have happened in the past month and most of them have been pretty boring, which is why I haven't updated this in a while.

FOR EXAMPLE: On Thursday I had to attend one 50 min class period. It was a gym class and since the gym was occupied by another class, we had to have ours outside. I threw frisbee with three students and the gym teacher Eloy for about 20 minutes, then Eloy had the great idea that we should try to throw frisbees into the basket hoop, which we then attempted to do for about 30 minutes. That is what I did at school on Thursday. On Wednesday I played Ping Pong, watched a French Opera in my bilingual English classroom full of Spanish kids (huh?), and helped some kids read a worksheet in History class. It's not rocket science here, people.

Segovia is full of Christmas lights right now hanging above all of the streets. They all are different patterns and shapes and in the main Plaza there is a giant LED tree that looks awesome.

Last night I went to a bar (heard Grease again...wtf!) with some friends and we saw Papa Noel! They don't open presents until Jan. 6th in Spain because that is the day the three Magi came to visit Jesus. That's like two weeks after us, how ridiculous!

One day I was walking by Hogwarts (you remember Hogwarts right?) when a helicopter landed randomly on the giant concrete area next to the school then flew away almost as quickly.

Here are two soundbites I've taken during the 15 minute choir practice that the music teacher (Jose Luis) hosts in his classroom during Chaos Period. They've chosen a good song!

Tonight I'm going to a Christmas party at the Italian assistant's house. My roommate and I are bringing mulled wine and I'm wearing reindeer antlers (bought at the Chinese Store) + this shirt that my mom bought me last year:

I'll update this next week before Christmas, promise!
