End of the week shenanigans

Wednesday was long. The meeting in the morning was silly. Afterwards we all went to get lunch at a kebab place.......and I ordered a steak frites.........and he didn't understand me and just gave me fries (sob). Then I shopping with Krystal (we found the 2 euro store and a place with really cheap boots). Finally, we had a jam session. We started with guitar in Krystal's house then we went to a sheet music store and rented the piano for an hour. It was so much fun.

Thursday I taught 6 classes. They went well, I think. Teaching English is just like playing a massive game of charades. I think it's amusing. Anyway, one of my teachers pulled me aside after her class and told me I did a good job. :)

Friday, Fleurette (one of the admin ladies) came to observe my class. She gave me two criticisms: 1. the class was too easy (but after I explained the situation to her and the fact that I had other stuff planned, she understood) 2. Repeat in smaller groups (which I did too, she just wasn't in the room for it). So, overall, I think I'm doing an okay job. The director of Helene Boucher in Ballan-Mire came up to me before I taught at that school and he said I could use "tu" with him. :) And, he told me that the teachers have been coming to him saying that I'm doing a good job (yay!). I taught 4 classes at Ballan that day and 2 of the teachers came up to me after class to tell me I did a good job.

Looks like I'm doing alright at the moment.

Friday night, we (Chelsea, Emma, Krystal, the Brits and I) got beers across the street (HAPPY HOUR!) then went grocery shopping tipsy and then made dinner (stir fry and fried rice and cookies........ oh my!). Then we drank a bunch of wine, and everybody did 4 lemon drop shots, and then Jim and Lidyian (sp?) (the girl who likes twilight too) came over, and then david and his friends came over, and then we drank some more, and then............I puked and went to bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.... beer before liquor...... I know. psh. Everyone else went out to a club and did some dancing...I;however, was too busy praying for forgiveness to the porcelain God.

Whatever. I had a damn good time.

Today.......I don't know what my plans are, but I think fabulous things are going to happen.

Love Always,
Amanda
