Sunday
I had a slow morning. I had some oranges for breakfast and continued watching Netflix. I decided to make a scarf out of the massive ball of yarn Catherine bought for me the day before. It turned out really well! I’m excited to wear it when things get a little chillier.
At 12:30 I had lunch with the Bodet family across the street. We had roast duck, white rice, and baked butternut squash with a mushroom filling. There was an Italian dessert wine during the meal and a tidy little espresso afterwards.
After we ate, Mme Bodet went off for her walk and I sat down with Yanza to practice for his English test on Monday. We read through the piece and corrected grammar together. When he felt prepared enough, I headed home.
I’ve been a little frustrated because the teacher’s here only tell me the plan for class the day before. It gives me very little time to prepare and I never feel like I’ve been able to do a great job. Tomorrow I’ll be teaching about the 3 biggest cities in the US and some of the landmarks they each have. Luckily, I’ve been able to find some video tours that look promising and I put together a slideshow. I made up a vocab exercise for everyone to work on as well. Here’s hoping it goes over well!
