I was woken up at 9ish by Marie-Renne, she told me I had friends at the door. Sure enough, I staggered to the front door in my pants and there was Jaqueline and her Swiss friend Sandra who was here on a nostalgic visit having stayed with the Camachos 2 months ago. They invited me into town so I tried to take a shower but it was ice cold so then I had my breakfast of apple sauce rolls and a cup of tea. Jose and Marina left last night to go and see Jose's bro...

I slept in again for my class and was a few minutes late. It's so cold in the morning that it's hard to resist nodding off for 5 minutes (or so I thought) but in actual fact it was 30 mins. Anyway I had to grab a camu-camu jam roll and down my tea! I ran off to school and had my last lesson with Ingrid. She talked for a while about politics and I just nodded enthusiasticaly. Eventually we moved on to doing exercises. We did several subjunctive exercises and...

I had my lesson with Wilma who I think is probably my best teacher. We chatted for awhile and then moved on to the subjunctive tense. Which is like..I might do that or maybe I will return. We did tonnes of exmaples. I had a coffee on my break and listened to Joaquin try and persuade people to go...

I got up so late today I didn't bother with a shower. I arrived at the school and was taught by Mary. She was ok if a little boring and she tended to go off on a tangent at times. I was given a lecture on pronouns which I've already studied so was bored rigid with mind-numbing exercises. The class with Mary tired me out. My head was about to explode before I had the coffee break. Today is "Dia Del Maestro" which means day of the teacher. So we had free empa...
