So, I figured that since I've got a three-day weekend coming up, I should probably write a post so that you all at least know that...so, don't be expecting any updates until Monday...
We're going to Ronda tomorrow...evidently it's just a sight-seeing trip, and it's not required for anyone (normally the outings are required for the Art Class students; I just go along because I can), so I really don't know what will be there...but hopefully it will be pretty since that's mostly the point of our going...
I had my test today...I think it went ok, but we'll find out...I felt like a wrote a whole lot of nothing...I just could not think in any clear or concise or ordered way...which made it significantly more difficult to write out the answers...since all of our tests are basically just essays...yuck...
A slightly more fun note: So, we like to play tricks on our one professor...he can take it, and it amuses him and us, so we try and think of new things we can do...It started in one class that I had with him, and now it's moving into the other class too...In theater class we had switched sides of the classroom one day (the beginning of the whole trick-playing thing), and it just threw José María off so much, and he just kept making the funniest faces at us....so, anyway, we had thought in Tres Culturas class, what would happen if we all switched sides of the room?? This would involve all of us moving to a different seat, but all of the seats still being occupied since 3C is like twice the size of Theater class...so, today I was like, "Hey, let's all switch seats!" (The effect of a test looming on the horizon, I think) So somebody else was like, "Yeah, that'd be perfect! Let's do it!" So, with a little bit of convincing, we got everyone (except for two girls who just couldn't bring themselves to switch) to move to not their usual spot...and then we waited...
José finally came in, and he was all like ok, good, let's start class...then he looked up at us. Then he looked again with shock and he gasped a bit..."Wait! What are you doing there!? And you!? And..." and he looks around the classroom..."ah! all of you! Oh, except for her...oh! and her! (I love how he immediately picked out the two that stayed put) Ugh! I'm not going to be able to concentrate at all! I just can't do class with all of you out of order...I'm an ordered person...Everything in its place...Every student in their place!!" It was amusing...several other times during class when he would look up and around at us, he would exclaim how much it was throwing him off, and at the end he basically forbade us to ever sit in different seats again...which is funny, since we don't have a seating chart...(he forbade us in jest though...but it threw us all off enough that we probably won't do it again...)
Well, hope you all have a great weekend! I've got to get going to get back for lunch on time...

I happen to LOVE it when my students sit in the same seats... unfortunately they move around a lot. It does give me an excuse for when I call Antonio Alejandro or Andres though...
