Bis später
I am leaving the country AGAIN on Tuesday. I've spent the last two weeks obsessively packing and re-packing and doing whatever I can to save weight in my luggage. I've been reading all the materials the Peace Corps keeps sending me, even if the information is sometimes contradictory. And I've been trying to see the important people one last time ( Read more... ) -
Die Fetten Jahre sind vorbei
We got a call from our ISP telling us that we were perpetrators of copyright infringement. I've been downloading things for YEARS, so this comes as some surprise. As soon as they called and said there was an "issue" that they needed to discuss with the primary account holder, I knew that's what it had to be ( Read more... ) -

Sometimes I think you can love and care for someone and still just end up going your separate ways because they 1. aren't ever able to give you ( Read more... ) -

Cleaning Up
I spent today cleaning around my room and starting with preliminary packing. I send all my clothing and usable items to the thrift store because I can't stand the thought of throwing something out that is still in good condition. That's how I ended up recycling the shirt that ended up on your floor one night. I hope someone else has as much fun out ( Read more... ) -
Why I love working with kids... Part 3
After homework is finished, the kids are supposed to read quietly until everyone else is done with their work. Once they finish a book, they write it down on a reading tree. The "tree" is a piece of paper with several leaves. Once they complete the tree, they are allowed to pick out an item from the prize box ( Read more... )
