Summer Blues

4th of July has come and gone (no fireworks or festivities in Spain...understandable, of course), the weather hasn't improved much in our part of the country (a black cloud permanently looms over us), and families head to beach for summer vacation hoping to find a ray of sunshine before the month is up.

I'm entering into a potentially very stressful time at work. Antía left yesterday on holiday for 3 weeks. So here I am, at work practically alone, with about 10 new classes that are about to start in the upcoming weeks (one of which is an English class that I'll be taking on). I'll be pulling 10 hour work-days until she gets back. Not a fun task, but it comes with job.

I'm in a stage where I have no idea what to write about...all I do is work :) I could tell you all about the student that signed up for class today, the computer that doesn't work properly in classroom 3, the teacher who always comes to class late, the class that I don't have a teacher to teach, the metal blinds that need to be repainted due to graffitti, the TOEFL exams that we haven't received compensation for yet, or the problems we're having with the telephone companies. But none of that stuff is all that interesting. So that leaves me with little more to tell. The joys of being a full-time working woman.

Whatever happened to the summers at camp where our only troubles were trying to get shaving cream out of our hair or when the chocolate milk machine ran out. Thanks to Facebook, we've been reminiscing about the good ole' days.

July 30th Antía comes back to work and Jose and I set off for Andalucia on a 2 week camping adventure. Hopefully I'll have fun stories to tell on our return.
