A new week means new group assignments and new incoming students. I have Israel for grammar this week, and am in a group with Claudia (Swiss), Madison (American) and a new person, Gabriella (Brazilian law student). I have Raúl for conversation again this week - I hope we don't run out of things to talk about ;)
Checking the schedule on Monday morning; students are usually assigned to new teachers each week, and might be moved to new groups as well
Tomorrow is cooking class!
Update on Sunday - Katherine and Peggy (a new student from Colorado who is also staying at our hotel), persuaded me to leave my cozy room during a tropical storm to watch soccer at a restaurant/bar on 5th Avenue. I'm glad they did; it was a fun experience, even though Mexico lost and has been eliminated from the World Cup competition.
Shopping on 5th Ave. in the rain; I have a poncho but it is yellow and makes me look like a very short version of Big Bird
Afterwards Katherine and I shopped in the rain, and later that night we all went to Johnny Rocket's (!!!) for milkshakes with my friend Sheila from Gavilan and Frank, a student who is here from Holland learning Spanish in preparation for his upcoming work on the reefs. He is going to spend several months in Mexico compiling statistics about marine life as part of a volunteer group. The students at Soléxico have such varied reasons for learning Spanish - muy interesante!
