| After class tapas and cañas with Bouse |
Friday was my last day in the TEFL Madrid course! I still have 20 practice teaching hours to complete, but the course is done. Finished. Finito. We all taught our 2nd 30-minute class with Patricia and then Bouse announced he wanted to take us all out for drinks.

What started out as a couple of beers quickly turned into many chupitas of whiskey (in honor of KY) and I dare say I don't remember what happened the rest of the night. Which means...I missed my flight to Galicia!

I woke up early Saturday morning and grabbed all my things from the apartment and booked it to Barajas airport. The earliest bus to Lugo (in the Galician province) was at 1:45 pm, arriving in Lugo around 8:30. I then had to take a 45 minute taxi ride to the venue here in Vilalba. I arrived around 9:20, 9:30 pm, dropped my bags off in my room, and was hurried off to dinner in the main dining room with the group.

Everything was so rushed, but I'm so glad to be here! All of the native English, as well as the Spanish speakers, are so welcoming and friendly! There are a few others from the US, namely Tiffany and Suzanne, who are from North Carolina. They heard me say a few words of introduction at dinner and the first words out of their mouths were "Ooooh, thank the lord, we got us another Southerner!"

So far, we've been doing a lot of 1 to 1's, native speakers and Spanish speakers pairing up to chat and work on basic correction, since they have such a high level of English. There have also been a couple of group chats and all of the meals (3-course, DELICIOUS meals) are great times to chat. Last night was the quemada, but more on that next post!
