I am alive

This course has been kicking my ass for the past two weeks. I'm sleep deprived and thinking of nothing but grammar these days, so I'm thankful for the moments of fun that we get to sneak in every now and then. My favorite moment of the day is usually in the evening when my Brazilian roommate Paula (I seem to love living with girls with some version of that name :-) whips out her guitar and breaks into song. It's the perfect pick-me-up after hours of teaching practice and lesson planning and grammar study.
