I need a holiday.

A month would do just fine.

I seem to be working every hour God sends and I don´t think I can keep it up. It´s not just the class time, but the hours spent researching and preparing classes for my students with work-based specific needs.

The teaching hours I have at the Academy are all over the place, 8.00 am until 11.00 then 15.00 or 16.00 until 22.00, most days. That´s the Spanish timetable for you! Then of course I have my private students in between, they pay more, but at times not such a reliable source of income. Adults can´t always attend for many reasons, so I must maintain the Academy classes.

Now I´m preparing for my work as an examiner for Cambridge, so Saturdays are virtually tied up too.

I suppose I shouldn´t complain, the economic crisis has seen many businesses fall by the wayside and people losing their jobs.

I wish I were 10 years younger.
