Brass Grommets aka NJ finally did something right ^_~

Residential Quality!! Rust-Proof Brass Grommets in Canvas!!! Proudly Made in USA!!!! (Roseland, NJ to be exact) … that’s right ladies and gents, I now have good ole’ stars and stripes to hang in the class (compliments of the Lalalala Lovely Linda)! Today I am feeling even more patriotic than ever, and I am a rather patriotic individual (blame it on being a navy brat). Yet I find that I don’t really miss home, rather I am even surer that Mongolia is the place that I should now be. I enjoy teaching about American culture in addition to English (American English … none of this “has got” British babble ^_~). For example…Halloween! More on that after our Halloween celebration on well, Halloween!!!

I am finally 100% happy to be living in an apartment. This is due to the fact that I get a horrific case of the “gedis moe” (bad stomach) about once every fortnight or so O_o. Like yesterday, which I spent in bed, alternately sleeping and reading about the Allied forces breaking the German enigma code during WWII (Station X, good book). Thus, midnight/frequent trips to the bathroom are not conducted in sub-zero temperatures!

Things have fallen into a schedule, a normal routine, with the inevitable Mongolian wrench thrown in about once a week. But even the unpredictable has become anticipated and no longer causes stress (or too much stress). And tomorrow my very own class begins!!!! It is the waiter/waitress class. They have basic English so I will be teaching special food service terminology! I am sooooo excited and yet so nervous. The age range for this class is 17-22. 15 students. Mostly girls. I really want them to like my class, have fun, but most importantly I want them to actually learn something! Tomorrow will be a basic review type class to see where they are at. I could go on forever about lesson plans and such, but it would be most boring for you and would send me into a panic attack!
