Fantastrico Fabuloso Friday

As you may have guessed already, I'm pleased that it is Friday.
Was at San Lucas bright and early [well early anyway] this morning, 10 to 7 to be precise, only to find that classes didn't start until 10 past 7 !!!! Monica had told me to be there at 7am. Must check things out for myself as this being early business is not on especially when I could have been in bed for at least another half an hour!
I was in a Spanish [think English] class with Year 13s. They are studying poetry which is tricky to understand at the best of times, let alone in Spanish. I could work out the poem but when it came to answering comprehension questions and making inferences, forget it. Anyway the class, all 5 of them, was distracted this morning as yesterday morning the father of one of the students was killed in a car accident and most of the students were away.
The next lesson, Year 12s, only had one workbook between 10 of them so I spent my time talking with an AFS student from Germany. He has been here for 3 months and although his conversation is better than mine, his written and listening is not as good so I felt a bit better.
Don't know why I thought I would be so much further ahead, guess I expected a cloud of spanish would decend and I would instantly gain full understanding. Ha!"!!
After a short break, as I was checking my emails at school, the director came into the information room and asked if I would take a music class as the music teacher was away. What could I say but ok. It was a class of 35 five year old monsters. They were climbing off the walls, tables, each other etc. I managed fine for about 30 mins and then we both [the class and I ] lost the will to live and all disintegrated into mayhem!! I finally managed to gain control just before it was time to leave. Many sighs of relief!! Then another teacher comes up to me and asks if I would take the Year 7 & 8 class!! I stood in front of another 25 students with absolutely nothing prepared and thought, ok what now? I asked [in my own way] what they had been doing in music and they showed me some written work that I think was about the history of the song they sing to the flag of Argentinn - I think!! So that was out of the question. I finally decided to do some rhythm work as music symbols are the same all over the world. We had a very productive half an hour when I realised that I was supposed to be at another school 5 mins previously. I raced down stairs, garbled something about being late to the director and took off.
Quite ruined my 'being early for everything' run.
The rest of the day has been calm and serene. Except for lunch.
Monica and I walked to the bank after school [12.30] and stopped at a cafe for lunch. I ordered a sandwich with ham, tomato, cheese and lettuce. At least I thought I did. When it arrived it was toasted!! Even the lettuce! Actually it wasn't too bad and at least it was edible.
Speaking of being confused, I was talking to the director of the Sagrada Familia Institute the other day and afterwards Monica told me that I was calling the school Sangrada. So instead of meaning Sacred Family I was callling it Bloody Family.!!! Ohwell, he still greets me with kisses and talks to me so he must have made allowances for me.
Maybe tomorrow we will go to the famous falls, It depends on the weather which is overcast today and what Monica wants to do. I will of course let you know!!
Stay tuned
Hasta luego
