My starting point 'Piramides'
My Spanish classes have started in earnest now. Every morning between 10.30-12.30 I have two hours of intensive classes. The classes are OK although we are with a lot of students which means we don’t have a lot of actual speaking time. I have the feeling that I am a bit the granddad (abuelo) of the class. My classmates are (bar a few) all aupairs working in Madrid for posh Spanish family. Although their stories of these problem children are amusing I am already a bit bored of the exchanging of cooking tips and various techniques to lock a child in the kitchen cupboard. This Friday (the 10th) I had an exam and the teacher complimented me on my use of vocabulary!! How great, this week we move up a level.
After my classes I go to work at 13.00 until about 19.30. My work still consists of translating, writing and updating a Wiki database on embassies and consulates. This week I finished Canada and I will now translate Belgium. I think I will soon get some new projects and work to do. My workmates are nice and I mainly enjoy my lunches with a German (Tammo) and a Ecuadorian (Sebastian). They are also interns and on Wednesday we went to Tammo’s place for some drinks. Our Dutch boss also joined us and we stayed until 06.00. I was broken, took the first metro home and fell asleep in the metro. When I woke up I noticed that I had taken the wrong direction and was about 16 stops away from home! Mierda. Luckily I didn’t have to work the next day as we had a free day in Madrid (we have already had three in as much weeks!!) for no apparent reason.
