I just started a new job as the full-time,short term Spanish teacher for the public middle school in Farmville. I know, I know, I don't speak Spanish, I speak French, but apparently the two languages are similar enough for me to be a quasi expert at the beginner level. Though I have slipped in a few "oui, ouis" instead of "si, sis", the kids are relatively forgiving. In fact they seem much more interested in my personal life than any -ar verbs that they should be conjugating. I thought I had done a fine job at hiding my belly bump from the students, but I have been asked in almost all of my seven classes: "Ms. Glasserkey, are you having a baby cause your belly is popping out?" One of my darling sixth graders told me that he is now going to be my protector by making sure that I don't drink soda or get sick.
We miss you Sonya! just sneaking a peek at your blog and so happy there was a pic of your beautiful belly (and you!) and some news! now i know why i havent heard from you - full time job - impressive.
