Gettin' Healthy

Having to plan every lesson is actually pretty tiresome. To find something new to do every lesson is stressful, and it takes up too much time. I wind up thinking of a topic and hoping for the best, seeing how well I can make a lesson evolve and flow naturally without super-structuring it.

It makes me enjoy one lesson I teach with 3 or 4 tech teachers. All they want me to do is correct them as they have conversations, and they ask me how to say certain things. It's a really funny lesson, and it's great because I don't need to prepare but I bring tongue twisters along because I love to torture French people... heh heh.

Damien and Claudia have arrived and we all have to sit at the table when we want internet (most of the time) because wifi STILL doesn't work! But it forces us to be sociable, and since Claudia's French is so good, we talk in French all the time, though I fall back on English sometimes when it's just me and Damien, oh dear.

Claudia is 24, so she's really mature. She's from Mexico and she's already cleaned the house once on her day off (so nice) and she's just really nice. Damien's more like me - lazy, loves junk food, and always on the internet.. but also super nice, and has a Birmingham accent. They're ideal to live with, I just hope I am.

The internet sucks here, I can't wait to be at David's tomorrow. Birthday weekend yey!
