Sometimes this place drives.me.CRAZY

After returning to the same internet store three times in 3 days and after receiving contradicting information from each person I talked to, I still do not have the internet, because it costs double the original estimate. Super. No my life will not end if I don't have the internet, but I had just started to imagine the possibilities of downloading american tv and wasting away my mornings researching the difference between one random thing and another. Not to mention Skype. I am still looking though.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING
This weekend I am going to Valence to stay with Laura Glish, another American assistant, and to have a giant Thanksgiving potluck. Hopefully lots of people will come bringing lots of good food. I am looking forward to it. I do miss home today though. sigh.

Two nights ago snow appeared on the very tops of the mountains! It's beautiful!

Today I am planning a lesson about Everyday American Language for young people. I can't wait. I am going to teach them words like "awesome," "cheers," "rad,""ouch,""chill and mellow,""oh crap,""and "weird." I am going to present the words, make them repeat after me, and then make them invent a sentance using the words. I'm hoping I can secretly crack up without them noticing. I have to entertain myself somehow.
