pls don't make me go home

As I write this blog on what is the last Sunday afternoon of the experience, I do feel a strong sense of self-reflection. This morning, I went for what will probably be my last jog around Parc de Gulliver - an absolutely stunning park, and quite possibly my favourite place in the whole of Valencia. We've also had a fantastic weekend down here. On Friday, we threw Maryam a little surprise birthday party in our flat, before heading out to Ruzafa (a cool downtown urban area, just outside the city center) - it was fun!!

It's insane to think that this time next week, we'll all be flying home. I can't fully comprehend how incredible this experience has been. Being able to teach in a proper Spanish classroom is not something I'd have expected to have done during such an early point in my TEFL career - but here we are!! I'm really embracing the final week. I have a lot to do, especially for tomorrow and Monday, but I'm looking forward to it and have a burning desire to prove myself. For my 1ESO class, my teacher has asked me to prep a lesson on British culture, so I'm going for bonfire night. I know its a bit premature, but with Falles approaching here in Valencia, the pyrotechnic theme kinda fits.


So yeah, I don't really have much more to add. Have a blast in the final week guys. Adios!!!!!!
