So it was my last day of teaching the French kiddies on Monday and as much as I dreaded walking to that school every Monday it's also a little sad to be done. For the last class, we were of course sans a lesson plan as usual and we decided to have the kids draw their families. In a hilarious turn of events they ended up drawing pictures of my teaching partner and I. This sassy little one named Anouk came up to me, ordered me to stand still, and demanded a 'rouge' marker to color in my nose. I told her that I had gotten 'beaucoup de soleil' over the weekend and she popped her hip and said 'moi aussi'. Haha! I totally got dissed by a six year old French girl.
The pictures turned out great, most of them showed Danielle and I in castles (hmm?) with hearts around us, and in a couple of them we were pooping. Ok, I laughed, a lot...I never promised to be a mature teacher. With 10 minutes left and nothing to do I saw that they had music sheets on their desk and told them to sing for us. It turned out to be the best moment of my life when they one by one stood up and joined into the circus tune that went a little bit like this, 'Blim Blim, Bloum, Bloum, Tra la la la Lere' and went on to talk about French clowns and such. Even the little badass with the rat tail that said his name was 'toilette' in the beginning of the semester was singing along and it was probably the cutest thing I've ever seen. That was until the little girl that told me I was sunburnt gave me bisous to say goodbye. Oh the French. I'll miss those little punks!
Real updates on life coming soon.
Things are ending and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
