Another excellent day

‘Twas another fabulous day. I know I say that I lot, but it’s often true. My classes were enthusiastic and I enjoyed meeting with them all. They boys especially seem to enjoy this week’s topic and are quite impressed that I know all that I do about basketball. Sure the students are often noisy, but I think that most of the time they’re so excited about the content that it’s difficult for them to be quiet and listen. They’re very social individuals and they enjoy orally interacting with one another.


I was pleased with myself this morning because I was able to plan most of next week’s lesson about St. Patrick’s Day. Hopefully, it will be interesting for the students (many of them mentioned an interest in learning about other cultures).


There’s not much other news. The weather was a bit warmer today, but I still got a little chilled. We ate noodles for lunch (from Sichuan Noodles) and dinner (from Muslim Noodle Shop), we watched a few more episodes of The Event, and I started a new book called The Hangman’s Daughter. See, I told you there wasn't any earth-shattering news. But I do have some new pictures:

  2. Yeah, I cracked up when I saw the graffiti. Jean-Jacques walks past it quite often and I finally saw it when I went to meet him on his way home yesterday. I don't know why he didn't mention it to me earlier; it's hilarious!

  3. Toilet paper and oil, Hmmmm - Do the chinese know something that you don't? I mean if the gifts they give you are t.p. and oil maybe Americans just don't get it. Wait, I don't get it! Help.

  4. Yeah, they are strange gifts, but at least they're useful. Now we never have to worry about dirty mouths or hands!
