Goodbye I.E.S, hello Stockholm and Berlin

Well, it happened. I.E.S pulled off Halloween!

The teachers all did such an amazing job dressing up! The costumes were hilarious, and just way too much fun. The kids also mostly looked great! There were some creative and frightening costumes.

I was a pirate, complete with a toy parrot on my shoulder, held up by a paper clip. I found mini chocolate bars, and passed them out, making it 2/2 years that I pass out candy. Last year I had grade 12s, and I think they were more excited about the candy, to be honest. Also, we had tacos for lunch, and mousse for dessert. Heaven.

I also played 'This is Halloween' in class, and it was so cute to hear kids singing it later on. I forgot how spooky it is though. . . .

Now, I am putting the finishing touches on this week, and trying to wrap things up before leaving for a week. I should probably clean out my fridge. . . along with 7 billion other things. Man, where did the time go?

Next stop, the gym, and then off to a colleague's for a pre-vacation dinner!

After the break, only six weeks until Canada!
For everyone paying attention, our next unit in English is sports, and then food.
Animals, sports, food. . . . my three favourite things next to music.

One more thing I need to say. For the past 6 nights, I have eaten spring rolls for dinner. I'm going to miss them, but I guess I'd rather be in two exciting capitals.
