A little while ago I emailed the current auxiliar that is working in Archena right now and asked a couple of questions and advice. I didn't hear back for a while, but I wasn't too worried about it. Then, on May 1st, I was checking my email (during class, hehe) and I saw this post on my facebook wall:
"Word has traveled to Archena, Spain that a Texan by the name of Richelle is coming next year...." -Cassie
It was one of those moments where something so shocking has happened that you (well, I) immediately go completely still. Then this anticipation starts to build in my stomach and after about a minute or two I can be anything but still. Of course I'm in the middle of observing a class, I shouldn't have been checking my email. So after about 20 more excruciating minutes, I finally found a way to politely excuse my self and get out!
The reason for all of the excitement of course, is that I know this person. I KNOW THIS PERSON!! The current auxiliar for the school that I'm going to be working at in this tiny town of 16,000 people is a girl that I have hung out with before. We took a Spanish class together at Texas State, we hung out maybe half a dozen times. And now, now, I am following in her footsteps, she is leaving Spain and I am going. Oh how sweet it would be if she were staying, but instead I had an hour on Skype with an old friend.
What are the chances?? That with over 2000 positions and all of Spain to choose from, we ended up going to the exact same school for the exact same program when I didn't even know she was doing this program.
Oh, the insanity....
