PLAYED COWBOYS AND INDIANS TONIGHT WOOOO! it was really fun. the whole camp has been transformed into the wild wild west and we ate american food and played with guns?

All my lessons are planned until monday now, and the exam has been made so we are FREE in our time off now. Heading out to a nearby club in a different town tonight which should be fun, gonna have no sleep again (ended up going out last night) its jokes trying to teach with a hangover (and have school photos taken with all the kids).

Teaching interrogatives tomorrow and friday! BIG spiders in the rooms but heather is safe and puts them out for me, things are getting easier now, but I miss Sam.

First Class

So taught my first class today. The time. The first crew were absolute angels, they did all their work and made me some really nice clocks but it took way longer than i thought because they were shit at cutting out hands for the clocks so kept starting again and making sure they were realllly cool before sticking them on the clocks. It felt pretty cool teaching them stuff and having them ask loads of questions with genuine inquisition and awe on their faces. THEN, the SECOND class, who had just had a half an hour break and a different teacher so were properly hyped, were slightly different. I had a small male SHIT in my class who wouldnt sit on the chair, kept being told on by his classmates who had blatently cheated in his exam and was too thick for the class and I had to take a point away from him. They asked loads of questions as well 'doooooooooo you have a booooyfriiieeeend??' well sweet. It was pretty hard and after I was thinking, ewww neeewww 6 weeks of this, how the HELL will it be possible? then we did some rapid spead teaching where we all visited every class for 4 minutes and had to answer questions such as ´favourite song´, to which my answer was of course, ´turn up the music´(camo and krooked) AND ONE BOY WAS LIKE ÓH, TURN UP THE MUSIC´AND STARTED SINGING IT. Instant favourite. could not believe!!

Then we planned lessons, which takes forever because I am not a teacher and there was a thousand flies who keep landing on you and you are tired and really hungry because we have to go 6 hours between meals (which is still a plate of iceburg and tuna for the vegetarians) so we get proper hungry and pissy. But then dinner was really fit tonight and it was followed by a jokes production in the main hall where all the monitors dress up as TV hosts and make big posters of of Brand logos and pretend it´s live (with the brand logos being the advert breaks) and host olympic games for the kids (during the sack race the child from the naughty class decided to STRIKE the winner of the race) and two teachers dressed up as the Queen and Prince Harry which was funnny.

Not going into Prades tonight, we walked there last night for one drink (another triple measure) and the road is pitch black so we got creeped but talking about the wild vampire foxes and boars and wild hills have eyes people.

Feeling better about the teaching now as i stayed up late planning lessons for the next few days so I can have a fat break tomorrow and chill because it´s been non stop for the past two days.

Can´t wait for a kid to call me mum and be embarrassed haaaaaa

Hola! como estas?

All the kids came today. We met the parents from 10-1.30 in the SUN which was suppper hot!! haha the parents are SO loaded its unreall; there was a HUMMER that looked like it was part of film set and a thousand designer handbags swinging on the arms of the botox faced mums and big businessman dads. Hilare. Planned my first lesson yesterday, to be taught tomorrow, which was so hard because we were SO hungover and most people here are trained teachers so know loads of fun games to play with them etc so I was sweating and Blind because i still have fucking Pink eye, so look like a demon headmaster (great start) haa but everyone helped everyone.

We had to make posters about ourselves and decorate our classrooms, I feel like a real teacher having my own classroom! they gave me a class of 13 today and i had to invigilate their initial exam for an hour and stop them from cheating and they were really well behaved for me and the ones that finished early got a wordsearch to do and one girl finished her wordsearch too and then asked what to do so i said draw a picture and she looked at me as if i´d said "let´s set fire to your mum?". Played some tennis today and looooads of Irish snap last night, lost some skin on the hands haha it was brutal. Everyone is being bitten by things too.

We received our uniforms too yesterday which is cool and had to do an introduction thing where you RUN into the hall where all the kids are and wave and do a little dance, it was eurojokes. Going into the town again (mullet town) to get out of the camp and get a drink. Smells like coffee in the staffroom and there are teaching materials everywhere it´s so weird SUDDENLY being this teacher person. the food is pretty funny as well, i said i was a vegetarian and get the funniest things, like a plate of wet runnerbeans, i´m missing the daily humous and lemon juice and green teas and stuff but whatever. Spanish food is overall pretty damn fine.

So yeah teaching the first lesson tomorrow, first we´re playing two name games to get to know everyone and i´m introducing myself properly then i´m teaching them Time. I´m gonna teach them how to say ´thankyou´ aswell (safe) and ´hello´ (ére wasson/easy/yoyoyo) aaah the impending jokes are too many funny.

Got to go to the ´froggy disco´now which is on for an hour before we hit town. Peace out. Miss anyone who´s reading this! x

First Day in Spain

Flight was amazing, full of mad for it Brits off to spaaaiinnneee with the whole family. Netsky for the take-off win. Decided to sack off getting a taxi from the airport and get a bus because it was cheaper and ended up waiting for TWO hours but it was fiine in the end, was enjoying the sense of adventure, had no idea where my hostel was or how to get there because my spanish is NIL. Had a good sleep and left the hostel at midday and to be met by HEAT. Tried to get a green tea in a cafe but no, my level of spanish is still too amateur. Got a map and headed to the sea, stopped in an internet cafe on the way where a man was like "senora senora" and i was eventually like yes? and he was like "too many nice" so i smiled but refused him service and left and then saw him again and avoided. Then, went to find some food and ordered some FIT paella of clams and lingoustines and a starter and some wine all for 15 euros! it was so much food i couldnt finish it, even though the waiter wanted me to be "big and strong" haha. I say some wine, they gave me an ENTIRE bottle, they just left it there on the table, so i confirmed it was all for me, and, as it would be rude not to, consumed it ALL. Two hours before meeting my boss. Made it to the beach and swam with a merry smile and then crashed on the beach before rocking up at the meeting point with a sandy, red and winey presence.

Looong drive up to the camp which is properly in the mountains, it is so nice. Sharing a room with 5 safe girls which are jokes. Played some ice breakers and had dinner which was yum and then headed off to the nearby village for drinks. "Oh I´ll have a rum and coke please. OH." supermassive measures ha so rapidly we all got lean, then moved onto the ´club´which is a shed with a bar, it was pretty hilare, everyone got snap happy and then i decided to casually ask my BOSS "So where´s the token black?" which went down like a LEAD BALLOON. haaaa shit. Haven´t seen him yet today but will have to remind him that i have a really hilare sense of humour?

Off to the pool now for swims, yes theres a pool, tennis courts and all that jazz so should return a multi sport type. Que Bestia!
