Oh là là!
Long time no see, nice reader!
I am in Paris! I arrived here almost a month ago and I am already working as a Spanish Language Assistant at two high schools near the Opéra Garnier... which is so cool and also kind of unbelievable! I'm starting to get used to this life: new home, new friends, new food, new things to discover...! It's truly amazing!
As for my experience as a Spanish teacher, I must confess I was really scared during my first week. I still am (a little bit), but things are going better than expected. My students are mostly adorable and you can tell they want to learn lots of things. I guess I was lucky!
Tomorrow I'm going to my first ballet class since the end of June (that's a four-month-long break!). I'm probably attending three hours a week. I'd go to the studio everyday, but life in Paris is expensive, you guys. I'm a little bit nervous, you know; it's a new studio and a class in a foreign language (which I do speak, but whatever!). So I hope everything goes well!
Also, here in France we have holidays very soon, so I'm going to London next Friday to see the Royal Ballet in Swan Lake and, hopefully, Les Misérables and/or Phantom of the Opera, which are awesome musicals that happen to have the most beautiful casts right now at the West End. I'm obviously going to meet some tweeps while I'm in London, so if you're around and you want to meet up, just let me know!
I have some other plans for the future: for instance, I'm going to see Don Quixote by the Paris Opera Ballet in December, at the Opéra Bastille, which is next to my house here in Paris... and I also managed to get an amazing ticket with the best view ever for Tamara Rojo and Sergei Polunin's farewell from the Royal Ballet, which is taking place in February at Covent Garden (yes, that's another trip to London!).
And that's all for now. I'll try to keep writing now I have time and news!
Nerea.

You will be able to come soon, you'll see! I'm a bit jealous of you too, you know?! I've never been to Latin America and I WANT TO!
DeleteGood luck and have fun! Taking ballet in Paris sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt was lots of fun! Ballet class (fully) in French. It was weird and VERY challenging! I hadn't had a class in four months, so I was out of shape, but I enjoyed it. Will come regularly :D
DeleteOh, you´ve done so many things during these months! It must be wonderful to live in Paris! Good luck with your ballet lessons. I hope you write us again very soon.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Mar :)
Thanks Mar! Yes, Paris is great. It's beautiful and there are lots of cool things to do. It's also very expensive, though!
DeleteI'm definitely going to write regularly now. So how's university? Are you enjoying it? :D
Yes :D I´m not really missing high school! I´m trying to improve my English. See you soon!
