So, since my last post I've started a whole new batch of classes! I have about 2/3 of my students from last month because I am teaching the next levels. I'm super pumped about this because it means I don't have to spent a week memorizing new names! Plus, I really love some of my students from last month!
The week was pretty uneventful, but I did have my first Peruvian Ceviche which was exciting! It was good, but my mind wasn't blown. I got my package from Mom which absolutely made my week. Peanut Butter, Stepbrothers, and Valentine's Cards? What more could a girl ask for? Naturally, Friday night was spent watching Stepbrothers with the roommates. Saturday was Pisco Sour Day in Peru, so a bunch of us went to a friend's house for some drinkies. Ironically, not a drop of Pisco was consumed! A solid 4-too-many drinks later, I made my way home at 4:30am...but not until after another incident of dancing on the bar, this time not without consequences. A. I have an unexplained large bruise on my leg. B. One of my students was at the club, and saw my little number on the bar. AWESOME. It's actually pretty hilarious. As Jerry put it, I'm sure it made me out to be a more "approachable" teacher....
Superbowl Sunday was spent extremely hungover, but extremely happy. About 20 of our friends and fellow teachers came over for the game...and to cook more food than I thought was humanly possible to have in this little apartment. Here's the line-up: Guacamole x 3, chips, cheese wontons, quinoa, shakshouka, lomo saltado, eggplant fritters, chili, birthday cake, and of course BEER. We watched Stepbrothers (yes, again) while cooking and waiting for the game to start. It was the best hangover in the world.
One more cute/funny story from teaching before I end this superbly boring post...
Tonight in class, I was teaching possessive pronouns (my, your, his, her, our, etc.) and asked the class to give me a sentence using one of them. An adorably quiet guy who sits in the back of the room chimes in with this little gem of a sentence: My teacher is beautiful. It was cute, but made for a solid 5-10 seconds of awkward silence before I could even attempt to laugh it off. Luckily, I have a fanclub of girls in that class who immediately started giggling and saying "awww teacher you ARE beautiful". It was a very awkward but sweet little moment.
Anyhoo, my apologies for the boring post. I realized it had been a week so I figured I'd try to write something. This weekend is my friend Stephanie's birthday SO I'm sure I will have some stories coming up...
