Well, bon dia is actually portugese...but it is a lovely day today!!!! It has been since Saturday, actually, perfect fall weather, and the leaves are changing, too! The weekend was wonderful! Saw live music performances both nights, the second night being part of La Noche en Blanco which was a great festival in Madrid. They shut down a lot of the major roads to cars, so people were just walking around, going to various culture and music events. The museums were open most of the night, and Gran Via was lit up in colored lights. In different plazas different street performers, food, and art were set out. My friend lives with a Spanish musician and we went to see his band play. They played at 1 in the morning. I thought that was crazy, because not only was everybody ok with it, the city had set it up! Apartments all around, but nobody cared, probably because they were all out. The band was amazing, no lyrics. He is a very quiet introverted person, so it was fun to see him really jamming on his keyboard.
During the days we spent time in the market, retiro park, and the plaza mayor because the weather was great, lots of sun, studying outside.
Tomorrow is my final! It's funny, because when you graduate college you think there won't be any more tests and studying for awhile. Well, i studied harder than i studied for any of my classes in college for my restaurant job this past summer, and now here i am studying daily to keep up with my TEFL course. It has been incredibly rewarding, however. I really enjoy teaching, and I enjoy my students. With the more advanced students, i have done discussion based classes, and they really enjoy learning the idioms and jargon we use in our speech. I have one last class, tomorrow after the test. Thursday and friday will be easy days (I hope) and Saturday I am taking a bus trip to Salamanca as a reward! I visited Salamanca on my last trip to Spain, it has the largest university in Spain and the oldest, biggest, Plaza Mayor. It is very beautiful and a very Spanish town.
Anyway, time to study! hasta luego!
