Food goin' bananas - a very short review (29 seconds to read)

The title was saved in the draft a week ago at Kingswood. 

A week later, I am blogging from grandeur Gandia. More on GG later.

For now, let me clear the blog debt by paying tribute to kinaesthetic Kingswood. I will keep it short because my proportionally small hippocampus is running out of space for memory over 7 days old. A few keywords and highlights

Week one thoughts

  Week one complete! I still can’t believe it. It has gone so fast. So many emotions felt and so many memories made already. Every one of my classes has been perfect. The children are the sweetest and kindest, and they love asking me questions. One class really didn’t want me to leave, and two students wouldn’t let go of my arm haha. My favourite moment is when one girl keeps saying “Phoebe, I love” which melts my heart every time she says it <3. The teachers have been so helpful, advising me what lessons/ activities to do which will benefit the students more.  We had our first 'night out' on Friday too. I honestly couldn't have imagined a better group of friends to go out with. We danced the night away, headbanging to all sorts of music 😂 (which left me and Ella with the worst neck pain for a couple days). We met lots of people that night, including Spanish (Michael) Jackson who danced with us. Definitely one of the best nights of my life.  I have my observation...

OMG! And so the adventure begins!!

  After sweating buckets from trolling around my inhumanly oversized suitcase onto a very busy train, I’m finally sat (at a table seat  😍 ), excited for this adventure to begin!  The last 24 hours have been hectic; final zoom calls, last minute Primark runs, rearranging and taking things out of my suitcase so it adheres to the weight limit, saying my final goodbyes to my family and friends (very emosh as I’m missing my grandmas 72nd) …the list could go on… Every time I go away, whether it be a weekend away in London, or a week by the beach in Turkey, I always seem to get emotional, mainly because of uncertainty; uncertain that something will go wrong at the airport, uncertain that I will miss my flight, uncertain that something bad will happen… but for some strange reason this time, I only feel excitement. Excited to meet the little faces I’ve been looking at via zoom this past week, excited to live and teach abroad in a gorg city, excited to make some incredible memorie...

Livin' on a Prayer ✨️🙏🏼

Hola! Lately, well today, I feel optimistic about my final week in León! 😊 We had a tour of León and we went inside the Cathedral! Very Gothic and tranquil😍  My  experience here has been a total roller coaster. A roller coaster where I'm strapped in tightly and I can't escape. Do I wish that my experience was better? Sì! Everyday I wish that my mentor was easier to work with and that she would allow me to take centre stage in the classroom. I wish that we had coffee and lunch outings too. It's close to week 4 and I guess this still remains an unanswered prayer. Do I have time to dwell on this though? No, I have no more tears to give nor am I afraid of her intimidating nature. So with reference to Bon Jovi's song 'Livin' on a prayer', (the last song I heard in a Tapas Bar 😅), I've got to hold on to what teaching experience I have and I will use it to the best that I can ❤️ In this moment of reflection, I am amazed at how strong I am for showing up to t...
