A more or less regular day. In the beginner class today, I tried to have the student make little books by cutting, folding, and gluing a piece of paper. It took about three times as long as I had anticipated, and a handful of kids still managed to cut or glue it in such a way as to render the book unusable. The next time I have to introduce vocabulary, we’ll be trying something else. On the bright side, falling a day behind the plans means one less day I have to plan.
In the evening I decided I would finally buy some eggs and start cooking in my house. I greased the pan, cracked all the eggs, added my cheese, and realized that we had run out of matches earlier in the day, leaving me with no way to light the stove. I covered everything and ran to the store, only to come back and find out that the reason my host family had been gone was because they had left (a few minutes before I got home) to go buy matches at a different store. Now we have matching matchbooks. We can start so many fires.
