1. It is intimidating when you do not understand everything that a teacher says. I was nervous and felt like all of the ninth graders knew more than me—which is true!
2. As a teacher, it is important go over expectations. Mme addressed what it looks like to be prepared physically—in seat, tablet, pens, paper, etc.—and mentally: good attitude, smile, life is what you make of it.
3. Repetition is key—I only got it once I heard it several times.
4. It is OKAY if you don’t understand everything. I didn’t, but I could follow along.
5. It takes time to do homework. Technology can be a little scary.
6. If you want to learn, you can.

Los domingos en España…
I love Sundays in Spain. I woke up early this morning and got ready for the day. Fortunately, we got to eat breakfast with Celestino—he just happened to be there. When I saw him, I noticed that he cut his hair and asked, «¿Te cortaste el pelo?» Celestino responded, «¡Me los cortaron todos!» ¡Ja ja! He is so much fun to be around, he has such a huge heart. I’m so glad that we got to spend some time with him this morning. Of course, our breakfast was filled with laughter. I was ready to go out to El Rastro with my purse, but Celestino convinced me to do otherwise so I would not have the chance of getting robbed! El Rastro is a big outdoor flea market near La Plaza Mayor that is open every Sunday from about 9:00am-3:00pm. I enjoyed walking around the market. I felt safe, but you do need to be careful. The little stands were filled with clothes, music, posters, souvenirs, shoes, etc. Check out the video to see for yourself—ignore my crazy face at the start of the video (I have got to work on that)!
I went to church again at La Amistad Cristiana—so good! You can hear some of the songs if you’d like!

Toledo (Spain that is...not Ohio)
¡Ay! I got to go to Toledo today, a walled city on top of a mountain, which was once the capital of Spain. Toledo is about an hour south of Madrid (in a charter bus anyway), and is yet another city in Spain that makes me want to take a pictures on every street. History and art saturate the city. I got to see Sinagoga Santa María la Blanca and Sinagoga del Tránsito. We toured la Catedral de Toledo, San Juan de los Reyes Monastery, and Casa Museo del Greco. Everything dates back so far in history and is just astonishing to see. It is definitely a workout hiking up and down all those streets, but I recommend the trip to anyone who's up for it!CHECK OUT MIS FOTOS!!
