3 weeks in, 1 week of work

First week of class - done.

Ten weeks to go.

So far so good, students are great, the job is demanding, but worth every minute. In just the first week, we've all seen fast improvements across the levels. It's amazing how quick you can pick up a language if you are forced to speak it in every class, 5 days a week. We'll see how the quizzes are when I grade them today and how the first presentations go tomorrow. It will be interesting, that's for sure.  

In other news, I'm attempting to discover a little culinary diversity. I really need to find recipes that I can try with the foods that I have on hand, instead of relying on my same old favorites. And I really want to bake something today. I have no clue why. A trip to the store is definitely in order, but I am admittedly still a little shy about going off by myself. Somehow, I've picked up how to say thank you and that's about it. And if I get lost, well, how will I know? I'm feeling a bit helpless right now and need to break out of that. Till that happens, time to see who else needs food.  Maybe someone will go with me. And maybe I'll find a great recipe for lentils.
