i'll be honest, i haven't had the time or the energy to update this in the past few days. it seems that every free moment is spent recovering or resting from the not-so-free moments. this class i am teaching requires a lot of work. i spend my saturdays in my room studying, correcting, grading, and preparing. sometimes it can be quite overwhelming. however, i really enjoy my time in the classroom. my students are so smart. i'm getting to know them better day by day! the more i learn the more i love them! i am a bit nervous that boredom will soon set in. i'm really stretching my imagination and squeezing out whatever creative juices i have. today we ended class with a little game of MAFIA. success! i was actually quite surprised by the outcome. my students took the game and ran with it. i need to find more activities that will produce those same results...
anyway, i want to share a little something with you. i live on the 3rd floor of building A-11 with a bunch of people from laos. they may be the most warm and welcoming people i have ever met. there is this sweet woman i plan on spending my sunday evenings with. she will destroy anyone and everyone in table tennis. i have yet to play her. i keep making excuses. haha. anyway, i just want everyone to know how thankful i am to be here. there are days where i feel lonely, overwhelmed, and frustrated. it's usually on these days that i run into her and my whole attitude is transformed.
i'll try to write more later. i need to sleep off this headache

YES! I would never think to use Mafia with a group on non-English speakers, but it's genius. Keep the posts coming. I am enjoying reading.
