LESSON PREP

Today was a very chill day—one where I felt like I was sauntering through each minute, unrushed, sane. It was a good feeling, and rare.

Evening classes went very well—my students are extremely sharp, motivated, and interesting, which makes the hours go by quickly. We also laughed a lot today, which helps—apparently, modal verbs of obligation and of probability can be quite funny.

Now I'm back at the dorm, drinking tea and scouring YouTube for videos appropriate for the next chapter in my Listening and Note-Taking Class. The theme? Children's Media. (There have been worse lesson-planning tasks.)

If you need a flashback or a smile, check out some of the following links:

I omitted the Teletubbies clip. I wouldn't put you through that, after you've been so kind as to read this post and to put up with many other ramblings and musings over the past while.

Best to you in this day and always, wherever you may be.
