Language: Class was weird today. It started off quick then got really slow. I'm not sure why... I have noticed that my teaching team is moving slower through the chapters and I'm not sure why. Tonight's homework was just to study for the two quizzes tomorrow and do some little worksheet. Nothing too exciting...
What is exciting is that my speaking partner and I exchanged e-mails today. At the end of it all, we've decided that Saturday afternoon will be our first session. I'm looking forward to it and she seems to be excited too. She also mentioned to me today that she's been trying to learn how to swear but no one will teach her how...
She spelt 'damn' as 'dame' in her e-mail to me. Well, I took a page from my dad's book on child-rearing and applied it here. "They are going to swear anyways so they may as well learn how to do it right." Dad's efforts to make sure that I didn't embarrass myself in public with butchered curses were not wasted. Now I'm passing on that knowledge to a college student from a foreign country...
My speaking partner received a five-paragraph e-mail on the many uses of the word 'damn'. I wonder what she'll ask me next. I wonder if I can find that old card Dad had...
Medical: I have definitely caught something... I have this laundry list of stuff I need to go talk to medical about and they never pick up their phone. Hrm.
Personal: I'm still trying to track down an apartment and it is proving to be time-intensive. A couple of the ones I was eyeing fell apart and another person hasn't responded to my e-mails yet. Fortunately I stumbled across several 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartments for $800 or less today and they are being managed by professionals. I should receive better service from them and I hope to know more tomorrow.
Of course, this could all be for naught if my chit is shot-down. I doubt it will be, however. Today my platoon commander signed off on it and my scribe drops it in the Det Gunny's box tomorrow... Then it works it's way up the chain for a few more signatures. We'll see what happens.
Oh! 3!
