Friday - Week V

So the awful weather left us some time last night and we woke to a little bit of sunshine and not so cold weather. All-in-all a good start to the day.

I headed to the library early and spent several hours working on some writing projects I had put off. All went well and after getting some lunch I headed over to the Budding Cafe where I helped Ellen out by delivering some flowers to her regular clients. By that time it was really beautiful out and the perfect time for a walk about town.

Jean Marie and I were off to the gym early and then she took me for yummy pizza not far from the gym.

My days seem less and less exciting, I know, but hopefully next week it will all liven up. I got two more practice students. Marisol from Spain and Valerie from Poland. They were both students of mine at the school and I bumped into them at the Library today and they were very excited that I wanted to use them as my guinea pigs. Well I didn't use that word with them because I think it would have scared them. How to you explain to non-native speakers what it means for them to be a guinea pigs. I simply said I need to practice my teaching skills and they practically jumped for joy at the idea of having someone work with them in a small group setting. Now I have no idea how I'm going to structure my lessons but I might just try winging it with them for the first session or two. We'll most likely meet at the library so I'll have to plan quiet exercises and reel in a bit of my dramatic side to suit the environment.
