Today we had a morning of orientation. We learned about the virtual classroom that is basically the link between all of the auxiliares of Madrid and the Administration (the Consejería de Educación de Madrid). It's actually really cool -- our own little virtual community! With lots of teaching material and resources. It's going to be really helpful when it comes to planning activities, etc.
So, another hilarious Spain moment: Today I saw this old man (so adorable!) scolding this African man who was trying to hand out/sell newspapers on the sidewalk. It was so funny! Usually the salesmen just say, "Buenas tardes señora..." as you walk by without paying any attention to them, but this old man was not having it! He was pointing his finger at poking at the poor man's chest! I don't know what the salesman said, but it was so funny to see the old man not only paying attention to him, but literally scolding him!
I move into my new apartment tomorrow, but Gema told me to take only the 'urgent' things. She said it's an excuse for me to come back next week! : ) Beatrice told me today that she's going to miss me...even though I'm going to be in the same city!
