Taming the Teens

So this July I have been sent to the north of Madrid to do English workshops with a bunch of teenagers which is proving to be hard going. The kids are nice enough, the problem is that they are kids and I don't really enjoy screaming at the top of my lungs for four hours on a morning at a group of fifteen moody teens. The school (Pinosierra) I am working at it is pretty cool though, and the teachers seem nice, although they don't really speak to me unless it's to comment on the fact that I am foreign. I have survived my first week and I only have 3 more weeks to go! Deep breaths!
