Current Mood: HappyThere are two reasons I haven’t written in a while. One, I am on a business trip through Germany, and then next week Poland. The other reason is that until about one minute ago, I had not finished watching all three seasons of the TV show Lost. Now that that is done, I [...]

I have mostly just gone over some vocabulary with them and have been doing small phrases with them. [...]
