New Beginnings!

Samson loves me. I can tell.

This is the only way he will sit with me.

I started school this week! It's pretty basic stuff for me, since I'm starting at the beginner's level. But it's nice to practice correct pronounciation. My class is very international. There are 13 students in my class, and only two of us are Americans. There are two students from the Phillipines, and students from France, Finland, Panama, Burkina Faso, Mexico, Korea, and Japan. So far, so good! Not too busy with homework yet, but I expect that will come soon. I've also started a new teaching job tutoring two businessmen in Business English. This is also a very new experience for me, and rather daunting as well as I have never taught adults before. But, the good news from that is, the pay I will save from this tutoring job after three months will be exactly enough to pay for the next three month semester of school. Yeah! I've only met with them twice, and so far it's going pretty well.

So, new stuff this week. I'm still getting used to getting up at 6:30 in the morning, but it's also nice to have the entire day to do stuff.

Well, I'm off! Three day weekend because of Moon Festival. Yah! :)
