I am into my second week of teaching now, and the more classes I teach, the more I love it! I love it when I feel like my students understand what I am trying to explain, or laugh at a joke I make. I am getting a feel for each of my classes, they are all different. Some students barely know any English, and I have to do a lot of explaining in Spanish, but others know a lot of English, and we have great conversations. So, I am just trying to figure out some fun activities to add to the book exercises, because the classes are 90 minutes each. I have Mondays off, I teach Tuesday/Thursday 11:30am-1pm, and 5:30-7pm, and 4 classes on Wednesday/Friday between 2:30 and 10:45pm.
Besides teaching, I have been trying to see some different parts of Santiago. On Monday I walked up cerro Santa Lucia, which is a hill with castle like structures leading up to a viewing area overlooking the city. Hostel life is getting a little old; it's like living in the dorms again, which can be fun, but also very cramped. I do miss my mom's cooking a lot already. Sadly, my diet so far consists of bread, crackers/chips, avocado, cheese, and cookies; good thing I am doing a lot of walking.
