I think it’s a good thing that Trisha doesn’t work in my building. The closest bathroom that you can guarantee will be open is clear in the other wing. And it’s a long way to walk when you really need to go!
Classes start today at CU, so all the students are back. It’s also the missions conference week, so we have lots of extra people around, mostly missionaries. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the deaths of Jim Elliot and the other 4 missionaries in Ecuador, so the entire conference is focused on that story and on S. America in general. Today’s chapel speaker was a little old guy who was in Ecuador when the men were killed, and he led the group that found and buried the bodies. Unfortunately, he was a little hard to follow at times, but the story is still a good one!
I have to re-prep one of my classes today. My Basic English class has turned out to be very complicated! I have a number of people with very diverse abilities in the language, including some international students, so I have to rethink what I originally had planned which works best for the average CU student. So I guess I should get on to doing that!
I beg to differ. She asked if he liked her dress, and he never did answer that question. but you’re right, she shouldn’t be asking questions to get a certain response!
Since I’m only 3/4 time this year, I don’t have to go to chapel unless I want to. I try to go just so I know what my students are talking about, but I don’t stress over it much.
You know how during alumni week, all the speakers would say something like….for years after I graduated, I always felt like there was someplace I should be at 10 am… Yeah, I’ve never had that feeling…
Good luck with Basic English!
It sounds funny that your Basic English class is complicated!
Good luck with the first day of classes. I hope you figure something out for all the different students you have. I’m sure you will. Do you have to go to chapel every day?
