unfortunately i didn't get to see the oscars (being 6hrs ahead and all), i thought getting enough sleep for work would be a better idea. (i actually did have something oscar themed for this post but then the week flew by and all my wit regarding movies dissolved. but, if you need movie recommendations, I am more than happy to point you in a direction since i do love my movies ... but for those who asked, of course i checked out the red carpet photos of the beautiful and the awful dresses)
and so, first week of work went buy. it went relatively well considering i didn't really know what I was doing for any of the lessons, and that on my third day, my bike broke on my way to work so i had to run the rest of the way there just to get there in time and had literally zero preparation time. but hey, the show must go on. i only had 12 units monday thru thursday, and none on friday so i skipped town which is another story. but as for my students that week for those who care... i had a single woman, a couple (husband and wife), a younger guy who is studying for his matura (13th year of highschool thats all the tests they need to get into the University system and it determines what fields they can study), the single woman again, and then a duo (two very different people who are learning english for work), and lastly a pair of 15 year old girls who for the most part just want to improve their german but of course for my lesson were hoping to get help on the specifics of tenses for a test. fun times. but overall a good week.
I also taught a private lesson for a couple who are planning to go to Scotland in the summer and then continued my babysitting/english playing with my 8 year old...who unfortunately broke his hand. but he was getting dressed up for a costume birthday party as a pirate so we made a hook to cover up his wrapped up hand.
we shall see how week 2 goes...
