Typical day

There is nothing special about my day, but in case you are curious...

In the morning I am a tiny classroom from 9 to 1.


At 2:30 we meet with our language guides for one on one conversation until 4:30.
Sometimes we stay in the plaza and chat, because it is so beautiful

Other times we wonder through museums. There are a LOT of museums. So much history in this city.

Or walk around and look at the architecture.

There is so much detail.
Then at 4:30 I get back on the bus


and head home.
So it isn't glamorous, but it is filled with moments of deep struggle with the language and ability to speak, excitement over small language victories, laughs with other students, and moments of beauty or emptiness.
