To Everyone´s Dismay. . .

Yes, Amy is still alive and well in Spain. After much procrastination and many people´s requests, I decided I should write on the blog. To catch everyone up I went home for three weeks in September and had a wonderful time visiting with my family and also with some of my friends that I was able to see. I came back to Spain in time to start my job up again at the Ludoteca Arca de Noe but this time with a little change in my job description. I now only teach/tutor english. Before I would help out with the birthday parties we would host and monitor kids that came in to play and do activities with us. Now I start at 4pm and technically work until 10pm but usually am able to get off early since I don´t have 6 hours of classes. I have a large group of 3-6 year olds that I teach (actually I more play games with them, but who said learning can´t be fun:) and then I have a handful of older students that come in for tutoring help or just a reinforcement of what they are learning in school.

Besides my work at the Ludoteca I am giving a few private classes. I have an interesting one with a 1 1/2 year old who I meet with 2 hours 5 days a week and basically babysit her but speaking only in english. Interesting huh? we´ll see what kind of results will come of it.

I definitely keep pretty busy and am now turning down people who want private tutoring. Apart from work I´ve been doing some climbing, but not as much due to the cold weather and rain. I was sick this past week but am now pretty much better.

Well, That´s the short update and I´m going to write more frequently, staying in touch is important and sometimes I´m not the best at it but I´m going to be more diligent in the effort! Love you all and hope that you truly are doing well,

Amy
