And I find myself shifting the schedule again. It is so hard sometimes, it seems that nothing ever just fits together right the first time. And I am trying so hard to be as economical as I can and squeeze the maximum amount of classes into one day as possible. But that is impossible as there is only so much time in one day and you can only be in one place at once. Today I met with a potentially new student at the shopping mall. He actually drove from Madrid to Alcala to meet with me. We had tried to meet up earlier but we had both been confused and ended up at two different 'Alcala Street' 's thirty miles apart. Yes, it was one of those - duh- moments on both our parts. I really do not wan to go out of my way to squeeze in class with him, but I feel like I should because as of now I have free hours and 2. He has tried so hard to meet with me and get a time figured out. We will see how it goes with all of my running around next week.
Talking about next week - ahhh - what am I going to do about my classes! ! I have no material I am so unprepared! I have no idea what I will do with these kids everyday for FOUR hours!!! O Goodness please help me.
I had one new student today, his name is Jorge he is 8 yrs old and was a reference form David's mother. Apparently she had been talking about me to a few of the other moms at school and they were also interested in a tutor. The kid is great but I feel exhausted by taking on another 'child student' they require a lot more individual time and effort than my adult/conversation students. O, if only that I had only conversation classes!
I worry about where my hours are going to come from in the next few weeks. These two last week have been incredibly slow, I need some mega burst of hours to bring me out of the hole - especially since I had so many expenses this week - well in comparison to my no spending habits of the previous semananas. We will see what happens. Don't think I am not making sacrifices for my classes though, I definitely am. I had planned a nice swimming meeting with Maribel on Friday *I bought a swimsuit and everything ; ( ) but I am canceling it so I can make 15 more dollars and two hours more of a headache meeting with this new student in Madrid. Why do I do this to myself?
It has been amazing weather these last couple days. And by amazing I mean hot enough to kill your horse and then melt it into goo. I was so hot the other day after my last and only class I had, I went straight into the first store I saw and bought two pairs of capris. They are exactly the same style but different colors - one in black and one in white. I felt good about my big purchase (the cual that came up to be 15 E including a belt)
O! but I also need to tell you about my amazing swimsuit that I bought!! It was like a purchase from heaven, I couldn't believe I could be so lucky! I few weeks ago I went into this swimsuit store with Maribel to see swimsuits I could only dream about buying. So cute, so sexy, (with one pieces of course! ) but so expensive. But then at work today, Pilar mentioned to me that this store was having a sale and since I did not have a swimsuit I should check it out. I was pretty skeptical at what I would find but I had some free time so I thought I would check it out. I walked into the store and there it was - the patterned halter straps tied loosely around the hanger, the brown elastic nylon ruffling in the light air conditioning breeze, and then the price tag catches my eye - 50% off. ah!!!!
And then I bought a swimsuit. The long awaited swimsuit. In my possesion for only 14.95. Don't worry, I will post pictures.
