As hard as it feels when the alarm goes off, I much prefer early starts here...! My alarm went off at 7.30am but I didn't aaactually get out of bed untill 8.20. Whoops! But I made it to Oral English in plenty of time :) It was OK this morning. I'd prepared discussion questions on 'art', as it was requested by Benson - a very very talkative guy in most of my OE classes - but as luck would have it, he wasn't here today! Felt a bit foolish, but we still managed to h...

The day dragggged up untill 4pm today. Urgh, I was SO bored. Not good. But I had the VIP session with a boy called John at 4pm, that Paul normally has.

Tomorrow is pretty empty but I'll have stuff to do which is nice, the afternoon will be spent at the school, prepping for Life Club tomorrow night (arts and crafts..!) and also for a VIP that Paul has lumped on m...

So today I had the first experience of saying goodbye to one of my students! Cindy, the girl in the white skirt in thepic, is going away for 3 weeks and when she returns, I'll be back home! So it was our last class together today. She's part of one of my favourite classes, and it was so hard to say bye!
