The last week

The final week at ASV went by quick. I helped installing Windows 7 on old computers, even in Spanish.

Then Samuel explained the network of the school and let me into the server room.

At the end of the week I got my very positive evaluation and with it my certificate.

I loved working at ASV and I hope I can return in the future!

Valencia VS Girona

Na de match van vorige week zitten we opnieuw in het stadium van Valencia. Hopelijk winnen ze vandaag wel!

3-0 verloren, spijtig!

Update

It has been a while since my last post, here is what I have done since.

On Friday one of our colleagues celebrated his 30th birthday and we were invited to have a drink with them, which was a lot of fun. It was nice talking with the teachers in a less formal setting where we could get to know them.

Yesterday we took the metro to Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias.

We spent the day there just walking around and admiring the beautiful architecture.

The rest of the evening was spent exploring the Valencian night life.

The past week at ASV I have helped a lot of students and teachers with tech problems, such as wifi not working or an error in someone's code.

I have also been learning an application called WordPress while here, it is a CMS (Content Management System) for creating and maintaining websites.

I cannot believe there is only one week left to this amazing adventure!

Week 1

The rest of the week at ASV has been great. I did more of the same stuff I have already mentioned.

On Friday we went for a late night walk in the city and stumbled onto people dancing at the cathedral.

Yesterday we went to the beach, the water was nice and the sun was even better. After washing up we went to an amazing Italian.

And after pizza we heard loud bangs and after getting closer we enjoyed a colorful firework show!

First days in Valencia

After the plane had landed and we had settled into our apartments, we went to the Mestalla stadium to watch the football match. The vibe was great, and everyone was excited. Unfortunately, Valencia lost 0-1, but this was definitely an experience I won't forget.

Working at ASV

My experience so far has been great. We got a warm welcome and a tour of the (massive) campus. I then met with Samuel, who will be my mentor for the next 3 weeks, along with José and Enrique, whom I am sharing an office with.

Then I got to work by helping in a classroom of 9th graders who were programming in Java. For the rest of the first day, along with yesterday and today, I have been making an interactive website to learn about the school in a fun way.

There is only one week left before I leave for the beautiful city of Valencia. I am very excited to explore the spanish culture and meet new people.
