Oh my goodness I have been so so so busy. I have been going to school like everyday because they managed to get internet (very interesting process how they did it) and they had me make email addresses for every teacher... I tried to show them that they could do it themselves with the click of about 2 buttons, but alas, they would rather sit over my shoulder for 8 hours watching me click the buttons instead. Also, it's the end of the year (and thus the end of the school year here) so I've been helping the level 10 students study up on grammar for their exit exam. I'm sure you all can imagine what it was like for ME to teach people correct grammar. I have never felt such joy as when I got to correct the teacher on possessive pronouns versus possessive adjectives (FYI it's mine vs. my). Hellloooo nirvana. I also got to teach the kids a little bit o'Heads-Up-7-up and of course, the Macarena. The most fulfilling moment had to be (pre-games and dancing) when the bell rung and the Math teacher came in and the kids protested the end of the English lesson because they said it was way more fun and more interesting than the rest of their school day. I ended up teaching them straight through lunch. 4 straight hours of English grammar. By the end of it they were so good at identifying passive sentences from active sentences that Jenn Winger (my JOUR1002 "Critical Writing/Grammar" professor) would have never believed it. Damn, I am GOOOOD.
Since it's the end of the school year, the kids are going on a 40-day break so they don't go back until February. Sadly, that means my time at the school is done so they kids did a whole good-bye thing for me. It was adooorable.
Aside from that I don't have too much to say.... Anup had nose surgery and was in the hospital for three days week before last, so this past week he was staying with us since he was too drugged up to be living by his lonesone. That pretty much made my day because I just got to sit around with him and fight over the remote (we pretty much just argue over which is more boring, cricket or golf). He usually wins and I can now say that I have, in fact, spent 3 full days watching England play India in cricket. If you though baseball games were painful, imagine 3 days' worth of innings. UGHHHH!!!!
SOoo that is my update. I'm not dead, just busy. Oh, and if you ahve heard the rumors, disregard them. I'm not married. I may have a crush, but it's only by default (lack of male contact for too many months...) hehehe....
