New Year Indeed

Today was a good day. After an "iffy" morning of having to physically make sure non listening little ones didnt crash our circle, I had major success with the beanbags I had made for my class. "Center time" went very well and was constructive-and rightly so as there were only 15 of the 25 children there.

Its true what they say-"dont come over with the notion that you will do what you did in your room back home." It will,more than likely,have to be modified.MANY TIMES EVEN.Until you find whats going to work for that particular group of children. Im still getting there as last semester was FULL of breaks that meant I taught for less than a month added together. I hope today was a preview of good days to come.

Grades,grades,grades. Yeah,Im getting to those this week.Extended deadline,I knew it,didnt stress.


I dont know WHY I keep losing signal,especially since Thomas is back there playing away at his online game,which means his service isnt being interrupted.

I CANT WRITE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS!!!

And because Im supposed to be honing my craft, I decided to post my place in pictures. Enjoy. My color palette all these switches for one little bathroom no tv. . .yet just the two of us!

Moroccanoil Soap

If youve read this blog for any length of time, Im sure youve gotten your laughs off my Moroccan bath experience. As crazy as that was for me, i believe I will be going to get one again, though at a much better establishment! Today, I ran across this product  And while waiting in line for a price, an Arabic lady gave it the once over, looked inside, and nodded her head in approval of what was inside. After seeing it was only 9.50 dhm, I got another. Once I try it, I will certainly give a review! In the meantime, here is information about the product-or products like this: Moroccan Black Soap and How To Use It The black soap is part of the traditional hammam ritual. It is the first treatment in oriental public bath. With a texture of butter, this natural vegetable paste based with black olives is rich in vitamin E.

When in Rome

There are some things that, while you are doing them, make you think:"I would never do this in my country". Like the other day when I couldnt take it anymore and went to get water to drink bc its nasty in my apt (and,yes,Ive had the water in other places and it was fine). Anyway, it wasnt late but it was dark. The corner store is literally a minute outside my door. On the way back I walked to see if the internet cafe was open. An older man asked if I was looking for the pharmacy. I wasnt. He motioned and asked me to sit after he asked me where I was from and I told him. He was extremely nice and the first 5 mins consisted of a conversation in my head about how things like this work here. He talked about how proud they are to have us here and that Americans are treated with a different kind of respect. He talked about how nowhere else will you see so many Nationalities in a matter of minutes no matter where you are. He talked about work and leisure and told me about his resta
