DAVID CHULO

OK. Imagine this tío but shorter (4' maybe?), younger (13), with huge diamonds in his ears and much, much chubbier. Then imagine that his name is David. Then imagine him singing "Barbie Girl," karaoke style, in front of a class of 20 comprised of his peers. Here's to Thursday's English class!!

(Side note: Today the students and I reached an agreement. Each time a student spoke Spanish, and I heard them, they got an 'X' by their name. With 3 X's, they'd have to sing a song in English. Pobre David... His classmates chose the song for him.)

NO WRONG TURNS

Some of my first year students' 2011 New Year's resolutions: (They are 11/12 years old)

·to falling love (fall in)
·to drink a little cava at New Years Eve (cava = sparkeling wine)
·to quit smoking
·to not be claustrophobic

In other news: California / Mexico was fantastic! Back to the big city and chillin....
