And we&#8217;re looking at making some changes for the next semester (which starts in January). We have three weeks of classes left before the Christmas season begins.<br \/><brr \/>So what&#8217;s the &#8220;switch&#8221; I was talking about in the title? Well, we&#8217;ve had quite a few people who aren&#8217;t from Las Palmas in our classes. Out of the 8 people I&#8217;ve had in my English class, I don&#8217;t think any were from Las Palmas.<\/p>\n<p>The other classes have had a mix.<\/p>\n<p>Because Las Palmas is actually connected (you can walk from one to the other) to Santa Barbara, we do get a few from there.<\/p>\n<p>And lately we&#8217;ve actually had some neighbours from our street come to classes, which has been fun! Four of the people in my English class are friends from our street. And two women from our street came to Shari&#8217;s baking class this week.<\/p>\n<p>That is a switch &#8211; but it&#8217;s a fun switch! It&#8217;s been great to get to know some neighbours in a different context. And we&#8217;ve had some interesting conversations!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re planning some fun things for the semester ahead &#8211; we&#8217;ll see how it goes! Meanwhile, three more weeks and then our closing program on the 10th of December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing we&#8217;ve learned during this semester of classes &#8211; people don&#8217;t seem to like classes at 6pm.
