Week Two

Today was my second Monday here, and I taught a class, and two half hour clubs. The clubs wern't bad, but the students were at a much lower skill level than the classes I teach. My 3B class that I teach on Mondays and Wednesdays if definitely my favorite. They always put me in a good mood. Tonight, they taught me some fun things to do in the winter, like fasten a windsurfing board to skis and take it to the plains outside of Moscow, and wait for a nice gust of wind, while trying to avoid stares from the inquisitive peasants. (This idea was tried some time ago, but I'm not sure how well it worked.)

Last weekend was fun. I spent sabbath reading in the beautiful, spacious Kolomenskya park, which is a 10 minute walk from my apartment. Sunday, I did lots of shopping, and got a really nice coat for about $23 (620 rubles)

This morning, I started the long process of registering for ADSL internet service in my flat, but in the meantime, I purchased a "phone card" which gives you an account for dial-up internet.

Tomorrow, I get to teach 2 clubs, and 2 classes, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my toughest days... Since its already 2:23 am, I dread facing the day, maybe I will sleep in a bit.
