Ok, so I've endured some craziness over the past few days, which I hope will end shortly. By that I mean the students.
Yesterday, I went to the kitchen to speak with the students who were there preparing dinner. It was a Spanish dinner, so they were making Paella (which smelled delicious!). I also got to participate in a cheese degustation where the students had to comment on the flavor of two cheeses (one of which was served at the dinner I went to. It was great, considering I knew everything there is to know about its consistency). I have to say, my favorite part of my job is going to the kitchen, because I learn things about cooking (and the students are very dedicated when they are in the kitchen. There is a bit of goofiness, but much less!)
Again, I ask myself, why are teenage boys so much trouble? AHHHH!!! Today, I had the cooks (the ones I saw yesterday, who were decent human beings in the kitchen). Not that they were bad or anything today, just very tired and not very talkative. They told me they love English, but I find that a little hard to believe. It is just very hard for them because of their hectic schedules. Today they were supposed to talk about a certain vet who has a TV show, but they all just kept repeating the same info over and over again. That's what paella will do to you...
The tricky ones are the pastry cooks...you really have to watch them. Today, a group of them talked me into letting them go five minutes early because they always do that before lunch. AHH!!! I only let them go because a) I could, since they didn't have anything else to say about drivers licenses, b) the teacher said I could c) I am gullible and don't understand the French system of breaks. Never again.
Now to lesson planning (I am making some Halloween games), writing on my novel, and sleep!
