"The Office"/Spanish Presentations/So Much Work

We don't have a working TV right now and I was at school anyway, so I am currently watching "The Office" Season 4 premiere...and I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING. It's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite part of Spanish presentations today:

Student X's group members elbow him as they deliver their cultural presentation on Argentina onstage, in the auditorium, in front of the principal and other teachers, letting him know it's his turn.
Student X: The food of Venezuela...
Me (from the audience): Pssst! Student X! ARGENTINA!
Student X: Huh?
Me (pointing at the screen next to him): ARGENTINA! You're doing Argentina!
Student X: Ooooh! Right! The food of Argentina...is very tasty. I haven't actually had it, but I think it's very tasty. You see, I forgot to research my topic last night because I was-

Students in audience: STOP Student X! We don't want to hear your whole life story!

It was amazing...haha...

Fall Break starts tomorrow...except I just got a billion more assignments...ick. Countdown to Christmas?

JKJ to answer your questions, I feel like it's going awful, haha. I have no idea what I'm doing and I don't know if they're getting anything...they seem to be doing okay on the grade tracking though so that's good...thanks!

Leave it to Student X to liven up the class presentations. Too bad I missed it. He told me all about it when he came home. Too cute that it made your day!

BTW I can totally relate to the feeling like it's going terrible...

Keep swimming it's gonna get easier at least that's what everyone keeps telling me.

Student X just loves your classes.
