Dear Prudence

The sun is up, the sky is blue, its beautiful, and so are you, Dear Choibi, I wanna go out and play!

Spring is here in the good ole Cho and I personally am loving it!!!!! Its wonderful outside, no more need for heavy coats or long johns (it still snows every week or so but other that that its great!)

Many claim that spring is the most difficult season in Mongolia due to the wind. Personally I love the wind. The fact that it blows up all the sand corroding away your flesh and making you dirty as one of the street children isn't all that enjoyable, but hey life's not perfect.

My job is going swimmingly! I am teaching a "Business English for Accountants" class at the moment and as the level of my students (the majority of whom are older than me by the way) is far from advanced, I'm not having any problems. Unless you consider the fact that they never do homework, or pay attention, or have sporadic attendance...but really other than that is heavenly. I also heard the most glorious words come from my teachers mouths during our last lesson!!!!!

"We don't want to learn grammar, just vocabulary and phrases."

I nearly up and died it was soooo glorious. Our normal 1 hour lesson turned into a 3 hour one as I taught time phrases ("back in the day" "two weeks from now" "in two shakes of a lamb's tail") ... this was also when it was brought to my attention that I say the word "just" almost constantly O_o. But I was somehow able to explain the various time and meanings of the word with ease!!!!

I've also made friends with the jijuur (sort of a jack of all trades stairwell cleaner) and her family that literally live under the stairwell in my apartment building. There is the mother, her three little boys, and sometimes the father....and they all share a space that would make Harry Potter's under the stairs room look like a swanky pad.

I tripped over a skull on my way to school the other day and it didn't disturb me in the slightest. The severed sheep legs with their fur still on them in the road the other day threw me off a bit.

Sunday was Easter but I forgot. Maybe I will by an egg and eat it later in memory of the holiday. Though I did get to eat many a glorious Cadbury Creme Egg (my all time fav candy, which is only seasonal or I would be insanely obese by now) thanks to my wicked awesome Grandparents...

Za...well that is it for now. I know I'm most lazy with posting these things but if there is any specific topic you would like to hear about let me know and I will totally post about it ^_^!

Later Days!
