Last Week of Classes

So this will probably be my shortest blog yet. We're now in our last week of classes, and I have mixed feelings about it. Of course I'm thrilled that I'm almost done with papers and getting up extremely early, and I'm insanely excited about going to Wales in less than two weeks, but the closer I get to being finished with everything, the closer I get to leaving Spain, and I'm just not ready for that.

Yesterday was my last day of teaching the education majors and the first group of 2nd years. For the former, we talked a little about movies and I showed them clips from The Princess Bride, one of my favorite movies. They seemed to really like it because they laughed a lot. Unfortunately, I had to put the subtitles in Spanish because it was a bit difficult for them to understand it. For the latter, we had to talk about money, so we did that and played a game, but then I let them watch an episode of Modern Family, one of the greatest comedies on tv right now. No joke. It's awesome. They liked it so much that they decided to stay later so that they could finish it. Why does it seem that they like me more when we're practically over? Oh well. I never knew how it was going with some of these students, but all of them were great.

Last night, I was in the strangest mood to watch Beauty and the Beast, so I found it online. It's always nice to be brought back to your childhood. Today, I have an exam in Translation. Yay. It's English to Spanish, so we'll see how it goes!
