Several noteworthy things happened at the liceo today.
1. One of the inspectors asked me if I was eating okay because I looked thin.

2. My 2ºA class (sophomore level) did a listening activity with Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On”...
3. We talked about the similarities and differences between omelets in Spain, Chile and the US one of my classes. Also, I taught them the abbreviation OJ for jugo de naranja.
4. I somehow got stuck sitting through a sex-ed class…again.
5. At the 9:30AM break, I tried “pajaritos” a typical Chilean sweet. It’s basically a sweet roll topped with sugary icing. I asked about the name, and was told the while making the pastry, the dough is spread out like a bird’s wings (pajarito = baby/little bird).
6. A group of 1ºB (freshman level) students told me that they like my accent in Spanish.
7. A girl sang to me. It was beautiful.
8. Two of my male students (well, one of them was a student and I’m not sure if I actually have the other in class) in 3º gave me a flower bouquet made out of candy wrappers. They explained that it was a gift for me especially from them to show me that they think I’m “nice and special.”
9. For lunch, we ate empanadas de loco (a type of shellfish). Ariela and I joked that they were “crazy empanadas.”
10. Random translation of the day: “Call of Duty.” Thank you video games for teaching our children English.
