When did it happen? I no longer have time to blog, answer e-mails check out Google Earth, Wikipedia or my friends' blogs. I haven't sent a personal e-mail of more than 5 lines in about 2 months. I can't figure out what's happening with my time. I let my class out early tonight, I was sick and tired of them. I know it sounds bad but it's true! I was teaching present perfect continuous, which always gets them because they don't have present perfect in their own language, and how do you explain a tense that is talking about the past but is actually the present? So that confused them on Monday and Tuesday and then today I go and throw in the continuous aspect of it and time words like "for" "since and "ago". English is so complicated! Anyway, I got tired of the looks of complete incomprehension from some of the students as I explained for the 15th time, while the other students sat there getting into trouble because they were bored.
Teaching is fun though.
I think my soluteion to my time problem is to get a computer at home. Unfortunately, that's way down on the list of priorities.
Speaking of priorities, my birthday is April 8th and I've already decided what I want. I would love 3 magazine subscriptions: Rodale's Scuba Diving, National Geographic, and Scientific American. No need for it to be a surprise. If you'd like to give me a gift that I'd really love, e-mail me and I'll give you my address :o)
