The morning started off with two phone calls from the school system – not substitute calls, but information regarding an overnight shooting near the High School.  Because of this incident, one of the major roads would be closed, which also happened to block the two main roads to the schools.  The call was merely informing the teachers (first call) and students (second call) not to travel down these particular streets.  Aside from that, no phone calls for me, so I made this sort of a rest day.  I should have worked on one of my big projects, but I just wasn’t feeling it today.  Truth be told, if the layout work was ready today, I would certainly have plowed into that.  Instead, I watched TV and played Minecraft before heading off to this evening’s classes.  In class, my main teacher was back.  It was good to see him again.  The class actually started with him giving a series of instructions in Spanish.  All the Spanish speaking students had no problem with this.  The four of us with no Spanish language skills struggled.  He did this to show the English speakers how a foreign student might feel in a typical English only class setting.  It was a good exercise!  I was proud of myself for finding enough context clues to do what I was supposed to do, but it certainly wasn’t easy.  I certainly didn’t lean on any understanding of Spanish to figure things out.  The rest of the class was a combination of lecturing and student presentations – nothing memorable.
