2nd Day
So today the 3rd and 4th grade classes had a field trip. Cool right? Well yes, except for the fact that all of the auxiliares who had 3rd and 4th grade classes weren't told this until we showed up to a locked room and spent the class period in the teachers lounge wondering what to do with ourselves. Unfortunately for me, today that was all I had, so I spent the entire time in the teachers lounge reading the paper and talking with random teachers- aka getting paid for doing absolutely nothing. Most of the other auxiliares had a few classes with 3rd and 4th graders so they were also hanging out in the teachers lounge. They live in the center of Madrid though, so it would've been nice if they had told them yesterday so they could have slept in another 2 hours. Alas Spain, what are we going to do with you?

get used to it - half the time the teachers don't know because teachers from certain departments just plan fieldtrips without letting anyone else know. or the administration does it! i always tried to sneak into other classes...or just drank coffee!
