Today I started the final school week. I am so filled with mixed emotions. I am sooooo ready to go home and see my friends and family and get started with Fintastic coaching again, but I have grown pretty attached to many of my students. It is exceptionally weird to think that I may never see anyone that I have met in Spain again, including Marissa and Masha. Hopefully that isn't the way it goes, but stranger things have happened before. Which brings me to my first good-bye. Marissa and I grabbed lunch with Masha at one of our favorite restaurants to eat at. Masha will be staying in Spain next year to teach English in the bigger coastal town of Huelva. It has been awesome getting to know her throughout the year, and it was strange to say good-bye.
I also kind of said good-bye to my five 13 year old girls. I have English class with them at school later in the week, so I will see them again, but it was our private good-bye. I brought some pastries, and we played their favorite game from this year, Apples 2 Apples. I even talked them into some pictures, which for 13 year olds is quite the feat. They have grown up so much this year, and their English has improved by leaps and bounds. There is no question that they are going to be quite proficient by the time they finish secondary school in two more years. They have helped to make my year great, that is for sure :)
