Puente: December Edition

This holla is brought to you by Greg and everything that is like Greg. Like Greg's pants.

We've previously mentioned that we get a vacation nearly every month. Our puente this month is this Thursday and Friday. It couldn't have come at a better time because Jesus is still in the hospital (apparently doing better each day) and Judith had her own classes to tend to at the Almeria University. That left the substitute we finally received last week and myself to teach these two classes. Technically, there is always supposed to be a full-time teacher with me as I am just the assistant but rules were made to be bent. And folded in thirds, cut lengthwise, beaten with a crowbar, and scattered over broken glass. With Tyra Banks watching.

Yes, I have taught nearly all my classes this week by my lonesome. If there's one thing that I've learned from this lesson it's that Suzy is out of her freakin mind. Don't get me wrong. Suzy is absolutely intelligent and skilled for this position but this is not a fun trade.

I suppose all I can do is troop along as best I can; each day is another day learned. I am still forever grateful for this opportunity but I came out of my third class this morning needing a good scotch... at 11:30.

Oh, kids will drive a man to his death.

But on this puente, we've made plans to go to Sevilla and Cordoba. Freaking Seville! How cool?! I know! From what we've heard, these are the only places where the Spanish gets worse than this area. Ohhh, another challenge. Plus, it's way colder around that area than it is here (we're probably averaging 55-ish during the day, 40-ish during the night). Thus, Suzy is out shopping right now for a wool coat to roast her during our stay. We'll let you all know how our next trip goes soon.
