I love Tango Tuesdays!
School was fine (I forgot to mention yesterday how one of the teachers told me the kids really seemed to love me, because I was outgoing and fun... not like the guy they had last year... I'll take that compliment, thank you!), but my after school lesson was awesome! For some reason he started to open up to me and we played a game where we took turns launching stuffed animals across the room to score goals, but by the end of the hour I got him saying the name of the animal and what it was wearing and its color, etc. He even was giving me commands like "sit down on the floor!" and "throw the animal!" and at one point used the simple past out of nowhere. We were giggling the whole time and he actually didn't want me to leave today (for the first time ever in my sort tutoring career - lol). His mom asked how things were going and I said surprisingly well. She said she could hear us giggling and knew it was a good sign. :) Yay!
After that I was FREE! A train ride later and I was eating my delicious PaPizza slice of caprese with a can of orange Fanta. YUMMY!! ^_^ I strolled down Fuencarral and Gran Via and bought a really adorable skirt from my favorite store, Bershka. My European wardrobe is coming together - yay!! ^_^
Tango class was really great because I got there early and finally got paired with the real students in the class. All of the ask me, hushed, "Where are you from!?" It's a little embarrassing or something (the word I'm really going for I can only think of in Spanish, which is "verguenza" which is like embarrassed, but more like shy than shameful)...! Everyone is very nice and we learned another really cool step today. :) Awesome! Afterwards the teacher asked me how it was going and said I could maybe come to a Sunday lesson for free to catch up on what I missed the first week, being secluded in the corner and only dancing with the awful guy - lol.
XOXO
