Is it Tuesday today?

Errr yes.

Well yest I attempted to plan for my first Spanish lessons with this couple. Turns out I didnt really need to anyway,as we just played it by ear. The husband (Scott) knows nothing, so I taught him basic greetings, and a few numbers (he has half hour lessons)and the wife (Emmie) has hour lesson. She actually lived in Spain for 18 months about 3 years ago - and she did it for GCSE, so she s pretty good - just a little rusty and in need of a bit of a brush-up.

So basically we just did general convo for an hour! Went over the colours cos she couldnt remember all of them, talked about her job, her family, where she'd grown up (lots of places - and she s still only just turned 25) what she d done in Spain, what she s GOING to do in Spain, how she was as a teenager....all sorts of random things! Today taught Scott some more numbers, revised yesterday's stuff and taught him the months of the year. Ironically, planning for them is FAR easier than planning English lessons in GC last year! The level of their Spanish is one I can easily manage to bullshit my way through without having to spend hours planning.

They move out on 26th November, I started yesterday and will give them lessons 5 days a week until 23rd November (3 weeks in total) making it £337.50 I'm earning in total for an hour and a half each day at £15 hour. Plus, Emmie is going to give me £30 to buy a month's metro pass to cover my travel cost out to theirs at Northumberland Park each day AND yesterday they offered me a beer and another one if I wanted, today I got a beer and a cosmopolitan!!!!! How lucky am I?!?

Yesterday there was a talk from KPMG at uni called 'Business fo linguists'. Their 3 year european grad training sounds good so think Ill go for that. Today there was a talk from the College of Law about the GDL, have decided am NOT going for that. Ruled one thing out at last! Also have decided that the travellers worlwide thing is too expensive not to be getting anything financial back in return so so far, KPMG is the most promising!

Went to the careers service today to get my CV checked, so I now have a professional, approved, employable CV!

Will get some photos fo London here in the next entry!
