Random Thoughts

So I am about to slightly modify my post Faux Pas. My class council has asked me to submit a blog post for the alum newsletter, so I figured I'd go with that one. I just need to make it a bit more friendly to first time readers.

Also, I am currently trying to upload pictures. Still to no avail.

This week my lessons went well, but my mind was a bit preoccupied. I probably didn't help things by reading a novel about war in Sri Lanka. The bright spot of the week was definitely an email from another volunteer who feels my pain. He said that he would murder a baby panda for a can of Cherry Coke.

I ate lunch with my students one day. I was a bit hesitant to do that too early, because I wasn't sure if the other teachers would be upset by such an informal action. At this point, I think their used to my disdain for most formalities. We had a nice time, and the students asked me lots and lots of questions. I think the best part was the roaring laughter as I waited in the students' lunch line instead of waiting in the staff room to be served. We had a good time, and I may have arranged my sister's marriage. Lucky her.

Also, I found myself keeping up with people really well this week. I had a nice long email conversation with my sister about irrational numbers, grammatical errors and other miscellany. Towards the end of the week, it really seemed like things were falling into place. Let's hope that keeps up. Especially this week.
