Nath´s timetable: Library, library, library, Spanish, library, library.

 

Today we discovered that we need to attend Spanish classes once a day or so and that there are three different classesÑ basically 101, 201 and 301. 101 is for people like Dario and Alex who can´t really speak Spanish. I should be in 301 with Vanessa and some others, but the hours are shitty, so we decided to go to 201 with Anna among others.

 

And we were introduced to something, that (I quote) “you have never or hardly ever heard of”. El subjuntivo.

 

Vanessa and I were close to laughing out loud, so was my new great impolite friend from Berlin, Niklas, or Phillip as the teacher preferred to call him.

 

After school, Dani basically left me to look for Niklas as we had agreed to meet after school so I could bring him to Plaza de Viña because I was the only German he had talked to who was absolutely sure where it was )maybe because I live there= so he could cash some money.

 

We walked most of the way for different reasons and afterwards we hung put till about three o´clock when he decided that he should be getting home.

 

I walked around, bought myself gloves and a scarf as I figured I was going to need some in the north and called my mother. Basically, I did lots of small stuff that needed to be done.

 

When I returned home, only Jaqueline was there and so we talked, she showed me family pictures (and her obsession with her son Alejandro became very obvious as she commented every picture of him, telling me about his handsomeness and practically drooling over his photographs), we had some very interesting hours, had supper all by ourselves, laughed and talked a lot.

 

On Saturday, I´m going to some guy´s house to read his son who is seven years old some stories in German because his teachers think that it would improve his German skills that seem to be below average for an attendee of the Deutsche Schule Valparaiso.
