There are way more verb tenses than I thought there were in Spanish. For all the difficulties of learning Arabic, there are only three tenses, which is a good number, I think. Very sensible. Spanish has fourteen. English has twelve, and with fewer forms.

A couple days ago my friend suggested an online, Pictionary-style game, and today it was a hit with the beginner students. The only problem was that I had purchased a 1.5 liter water bottle just before class and I am unable to sit next to a beverage without mindlessly finishing all of it, so by the time classes was over I was ready to wet myself.
In the evening, I found a better pizza place than the one I had been going to. Then I sat down to work on lesson plans, but ended up writing a really long email instead. I need to go to the post office tomorrow. I’m writing it here so I don’t forget.
