This week I had my first presentation, in Spanish, in front of a room full of people. Well technically speaking it was my second presentation, however for the first one I helped with the putting together part then just stood next to the two other girls while they spoke, nodding my head to everything they said. Apparently the teacher noticed I hadn't said a word and for some strange reason asked me to actually have something to say in the next presentation. Teachers (*rolls eyes... but not really because moms a teacher as well, love you mommy!*)
First of all I wasn't alone so that helped! I don't really have much to complain about since I probably said a total of... six sentences! But of course in that small amount of time I managed to struggle a bit and my face got all red as it does. So much so that at the end of my small part the whole class applauded as if I was actually saying an acceptance speech for the Oscars. To make you all realize just how pathetic I was... I was only saying the introduction which consisted of our names, our topic, and the name of each slide...
Moving right along, today was also the day we got our grades for the second trimester and I actually didn't do so bad!

Now today's school excitement was not over yet! I was walking out of the building today and putting on my headphones for the nice walk home when all of a sudden the wind decides to pick up. Usually... not a problem... today? PROBLEM! I was wearing a skirt, seeing as here it is warm enough to do so and it decided to go all Marilyn Monroe on me right as I was walking past a large group of people. At that point I did all ya really can to, look back, apologetically smile and KEEP MOVING!
I'm sure I have mentioned before that Spain is currently having a problem with its educational system, and there are often school strikes, or in my schools case, days when there is a strike right in Barcelona which we get permission slips to miss school for, however all we do is get the slip signed and spend all day catching up on our sleep!
Anyway where I am going with this is, next week my five day school week has been turned into a three day school week because we happen to have the first ever (this year at least) two day strike Wednesday and Thursday. Does it get any better than that? Yes. Yes it does. I happen to be going to a Barcelona soccer game Wednesday night, which means I get to sleep in the day after as opposed to being a tired, miserable wreck stuck in school the next day!
Life is good! Life is definitely pretty damn good!
That's all for now, but I will be sure to tell you all about the game going down exactly one week from today when I get there! Have a nice week!
