1/14/2020 – the first Tuesday (“planning day” for us “teachers”)

Today was a less full day, but we seemed to fill the time up anyways. We only had one class, but we spent a lot of time preparing for other classes and meeting with teachers. We also were interviewed by a very kind student named Luca on the beautiful pavilion, where we spent lots of time sitting outside and working. It felt a bit cooler after a bout of rain at night, so it was really nice to spend time in the fresh air and get some sun. We introduced ourselves to our two neighbors in the female dorm, but it was a bit of an awkward experience because of the fact that they seemed to have very little English, and my lack of Spanish combined with the fact that it seemed they felt very uncomfortable with the situation caused us to quickly part ways. In general, I really want to try to be more outgoing because well, there’s nothing to lose I suppose! …And we’d like to make some more friends and meet some more people. Perhaps tomorrow will be our day…

The food of the day of course:
