Quote of the Week

A stupid man's account of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

Praise and Realizations

So today two teachers came up to me to talk about our future lesson plans. The first teacher came to me, beaming, and said, "I love your lesson plans. You always give me a new way to learn about my students. Last week you had them write about what they want to do in the future, and this week you are having them write about what they are thankful for. Thank you, you are doing great work" or something like that.

The next teacher came up to me to talk about the same lesson plan as the other teacher and she said, "I really like this lesson. You always find a way for the students to practice all four parts of English; writing, speaking, reading, and listening. Thank you for your hard work. Im looking forward to fridays lesson."

So the rest of the day i was pretty much floating. Until i stepped outside.

I knew the day was cold, but today was the coldest day i have ever experienced. It was around 45 degrees with a brisk wind. It would have been good cape weather, had i had a cape. They say it's going to be colder this week and next week, and will only get worse. I am a bit nervous about the cold. I think i might have to breakdown and get some long underwear. I havent worn those since i was 6 years old.

Life is good. I am excited for the 3 day weekend. I bought a folding 2-person couch-thing and im thinking of getting a rug for my apartment. my place looks so bare.

Yeah, man, I know what you mean about your apartment being bare. I was thinking about buying a couch, but an actual bed sounded nicer. I'll buy one later. As for rugs, I was thinking of getting a carpet, too. You know, just to make things feel more like a home rather than a "space that I live in." Happy hunting for a winter cape.
