hay un doble sentido allí, ¿no? lo pensaba completamente apropiada para describir el día que tengo adelante...
Bueno...
The time stamp tells all. No time today. No room in the Inn. The entire family plus cat stuffed into our queen-sized bed leaves only about 8 inches for Mommy, so I have, as of 3:00 a.m. given up the fight.
If we move, I will be finding a home with a bigger master bedroom so we can get ourselves a king.
Wednesdays are the hardest days of my workweek. There is only one day between the two that I teach, and it so works out this week that I have 53 papers to grade by tomorrow at 4:30, not to mention lessons to plan, and a few students who have promised they are coming to office hours tomorrow. Fortunately I have already some creative ideas at play for work--I think we'll do some palm reading in the intermediate class to practice subjunctive and commands. We'll make signs in the basic class to practice the se-impersonal and a few other things. I promised I'd bring in some Buena Vista Social Club to my intermediates for a saborcito de la música cubana. And then, to figure out what in the world I will put on the table for dinner tonight, let alone breakfast and lunch.
Sometimes I wish I could settle for mediocrity.
Pero para mi no basta.
Best not to speak to me today. It doesn't look like much is coming out in English.
Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar-buuuuuuuuuukies, where aaaaaaaaaaaare you?

I'll risk it ... even tho I don't understand the language, I understand the mood! Stay staunch! (LOVE Bueno Vista! Wish I was one of your students ..promise I'd be an easy-care one!)
ResponderEliminarI always use popular music to either illustrate grammar points or, in the case of Buena Vista, to bring in the culture of a certain place. It really helps to set the mood of the class and it is fun...a good way to reach out to a typically university aged group...although my older students enjoy it, too!
ResponderEliminarDeep breaths. WIth the help of a little iced mocha this morning, perhaps I can make miracles happen between washing diapers and grading papers!
