Yesterday I got my 7th tutor... 7..seven... SEVEN. When in the world did that happen?! I'm so nervous with all of this! God has a plan, definitely. But I should have taken a class on ESL (english as a second language) before I came. I didn tknow what I was going to be doing exactly here... But man! 7 tutors?? What craziness is this?
AND I will be getting tutored as well. So much learning going on here, one way or another. Ive been doing tons of research on how I can properly teach conversational English, I just need to have a structure to what I teach. Then I should be alright, but in the meantime, ah! If anyone has some suggestions on how I should teach conversational English, let me know!
My weeks are certainly filling up which I am incredibly greatful for. I am still pretty tired from some allergic reaction to something I ate on Sunday, BUT its gotten much better. I am such a bad patient. I hate taking pills, id rather it just go away without them. Ive built up a pretty good pain tolerance anyhow.
This week is going pretty slow I feel, I keep having some weird space dreams too. Last night I was looking at the Super moon pictures that we apparently had in March and it reminded me of this weird apocolyptic dream I had a few months ago where the moon ping ponged into the earth a couple times and it basically erupted into lava and volcano. Then there were radiation zombies coming after me with torquoise eyes. Weird eh? Well, last night I also had a weird space dream where I was caught outside the spaceship and they started heading towards earth, I look next to me and there someone else and i asked them if we could possibly live through the atmosphere... Well apparently we did. The other part of the dream was all my friends from home and I sitting around eating pizza and someone told me that I was fat and I needed to move over on the couch. I never know whats going on in my head sometimes.
Anyways, I am really looking forward to the next couple of weeks and crazy adventures that are just waiting to be had. Also, heres to newer beginnings, and new mindset, and no more whining, and mangos.

ReplyDeleteHey girl! I googled Teaching ESL tools and this site looks promising lol. It has handouts and lesson plans on it from what I can tell. Hopefully it has something you can use :) but if not there are a lot of sites that have tons of information and tools if you are in need! Also I miss you!
Take your pills.
Do you know the song Cannons by Phil Wickham? I think you will like it... the lyrics anyhow.. idk if I care for the singer much haha. But its a worship song and its pretty cool :)
Also I have a verse for you (being only 20 and all and teaching all the older people?) and I'm almost 1000% sure (and yes im aware that that says a thousand percent) that you know it already lol.
1 Timothy 4:12 (English Standard Version)
12(A) Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers(B) an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
I like the NIV more- which is-
1 Timothy 4:12 (New International Version, ©2011)
12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
SO :) there you have Gods words of wisdom that you probably know well but I felt I could just send them to you and you would like them.
and always remember psalms 139:14
http://bible.cc/psalms/139-14.htm
(that link has parallel versions so I don't have to send you them all :) )
Have a good rest of your weekend/week!
