Class intesifies but the weekend is around the corner

I am really getting in to the swing of things in my class. I am teaching a very diverse set of students from countries like Brazil, Switzerland, Thailand, Korea, Japan and France. They are upper intermediate speakers (they get most things if you speak slow and their grammar is better than most native speakers) and they come to our class for extra practice. It means some are 20 and some are 70 years old. My school posts our class on craigslist to get all sorts for folks, but it is totally free for them. They sit in as guini piggies. The practice is great, hard and energizing all at once.

I am looking forward to the weekend, as John's sister, Jen , is coming out for a few days. She will be heading back to Thailand and we are lucky enough to snag her for a few days. I just heard about a few thrift shops I have to drag her to because she has thrift store karma like no one else's. Really, she can find gems where you swear you just looked. Will see if shes into it, maybe I can bribe her with tapas and Sangria.


Love to all my favorite people (your the only ones who can read this!),
