this last week...

I've re-learned a few things this week... it's kinda like "aha" moments all over again...
- don't give cold juice to children. Really. Don't. ... You might harm them or something! (It's a cultural taboo here... and I almost accidentally broke it by giving some new students a snack with juice from the refrigerator even though I know better.) I'm glad that my co-teacher caught the cups before the harmful substance made it to their lips :/
- too many layers... or not enough. It's like I'm five again, and learning how to dress myself! I never know how thick a jacket to put on from one day to another... two days ago it was -2 C... today? Well, the high is supposed to be 5 C. So, we'll see! But I always, always wear a scarf!
- I do love the language. I keep forgetting that love though, as I wade through grammar rules about prefixes and suffixes and cases that seem tailored to confuse even the smartest most detailed oriented linguist. (of which, I am not. Sadly. I miss Spanish. And I miss "just talking")
-my roommate rules! (Yes, my love can be bought with pumpkin spice coffee creamer.)
