Last CELTA Weekend

Whew - what a fun couple of days it has been! We had an impromptu party at our place Thursday night after a few of our students asked if they could stop by. Katie had just taught a lesson about writing invitations and her model had been one for a "Beer Pong" party. So . . . we of course had to pick up some supplies to make this happen! It was pretty hilarious introducing some of our students to "American" drinking games. Flip cup was the biggest hit! The party started to wind down around 4:00, due to some neighbors complaining. However, around 7:30 I was woken up by our (very drunk) student Alex opening my door calling, "Hola, Jenny!" He and his friend wanted to know where the party was - they were a bit disappointed to learn it had ended a few hours before . . . Spanish time is definitely a bit different than it is in the US!

On Friday, our tutors took all 20 of us out for an amazing lunch at a Cuban restaurant. It was so nice to relax and talk together over drinks and amazing food. Most of us went home for a siesta before getting ready to go out on the town for drinks and dancing. After hanging out Ingrid and Steph's place, we headed to Buddha Bar around 2:00am. It was so fun to be in a "discoteque" and dancing!

Saturday some of us enjoyed hanging out at Katie's parents' hotel - in the rooftop pool. It was a wonderful way to stay out of the 105 degree heat! Her parents then treated a group of us to dinner at the pizzeria by our house, which was so thoughtful of them. It was SO nice to be around parents for a few hours - I think we have all been missing ours a little bit!

Overall, it's been a great last weekend. I can't believe the course is over!
