Capp Gal's Blog: Friends in High Places
http://cappgal.blogspot.com/2010/07/friends-in-high-places.html
Saturday, July 24, 2010. Friends in High Places. Another story from Almorox at the elementary school where I worked at my first year in Spain. One of the teachers came into school slightly shaken up. Apparently, he couldn't believe what had just happened to him. He was late for work and, since he didn't want his young students to wait for him, he started to speed. He looked at his rear-view window and what did he see? A cop So he pulled over. He couldn't believe it. What exactly just happened?

Capp Gal's Blog: January 2010
http://cappgal.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 22, 2010. I was sitting at the teacher's desk, writing notes, as I waited for my students to get their materials ready. One girl, sitting in front of me, opened her agenda and I saw this drawing:. First reaction: "OH MY GOD! She's part of the KKK! What should I do? One second later, second reaction: "Oooppss! I'm not in the States. I'm in Spain! And this isn't the Grand Dragon, the leader of the KKK. No. It's a Penitente and it's probably a drawing of her father.". View my complete profile.

Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Kid Love. AGAIN? I'm in Poland where I'm teaching kids from middle school to high school. Their ages range from 13 to about 18 years old. This story involves one of my 15 year old classes. In my head, I was like, "HUH? But I couldn't just stare at him, dumb. Founded with my mouth wide open. So I jumped up and said, "Thank you." (though inside I was like, "WHAT DO I DO? I had to respond and respond quickly. But what do I say? The kids all stood up and changed seats. Access in my ...

Capp Gal's Blog: My Busy Summer Vacation
http://cappgal.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-busy-summer-vacation.html
Tuesday, November 3, 2009. My Busy Summer Vacation. So it seems I'm not the best at updating my blog, but once in a while is OK, no? Here is a blog entry I wrote for the children of my school. Thought it was a good summary of my summer. :-). This summer, I did quite a bit of traveling. So much that I don't want to see a plane for a very long time! But what exactly did I do? Since I hadn't seen my twin sister in months, I decided to visit her in San Francisco! It was a great trip. I returned to Florida bu...

Capp Gal's Blog: October 2008

Wednesday, October 8, 2008. A Greeting from the New Auxiliar. I am now in Linares, Spain working at a middle school. My supervisor wanted me to introduce myself and write something on a blog. Here is what I wrote. Only silence greeted me as I walked through the empty halls of Hermanos Medina Rivilla. I strained my ears, trying to hear any sound and only heard the almost inaudible murmurs of voices behind closed doors. Suddenly, a loud alarm filled the air, breaking the silence. I am from the. The reason ...

Thursday, March 19, 2009. Why I Love Spain. I wrote this blog for my school. I received positive remarks from my students, so I thought I'd share. This is my second year living in Spain and I'm considering staying another year. When people hear this, both Spaniards and others ask me the same question: 'Why? Why do I love Spain? All of the above are good reasons and definitely play a factor in my liking of Spain. But the real and ultimate reason why I love Spain is its people. I can't really descr...Appre...

Capp Gal's Blog: April 2010
http://cappgal.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. This is a blog that I wrote for my school. However, I really DID find this interesting so I posted it in my blog. By the way, this explains a previous post "Useless Fact? Esterday, I learned something new. Something that shocked and surprised me. How can something that is so similar be so different? This surprise came when the teachers and I were talking about weddings. You are probably wondering: where is the difference? And the difference is in how you PAY for the wedding!

An American Household in Poland: October 2009
http://anamericanhouseholdinpoland.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
An American Household in Poland. Monday, October 26, 2009. First Day of the International School. We had a great day here in Gdansk! First of all, the sun was shining for the first time in a long time. It was about 50 degrees today so it was warm and sunny! We got student identification cards for them. So we should be just fine on the trains now! Now that we have them, no one will probably ever question us about it again. We got home at about 4:15 and it was already getting dark. It is going to b...On th...

Saturday, July 24, 2010. A story from my Spanish high school. I was in one of the English classes when the students, the teacher and I started talking about how someone can't hear and being deaf. Then one of the students mentioned that when you are deaf, you are also usually 'mudo.' You can't speak. (This conversation was in Spanish.). Another student asked the English teacher, "Teacher, how do you say 'mudo' in English? He asked, confused. I said, horrified. "It's deaf and MUTE! Dumb means stupid.".
