Teaching! Only one more day until I'm again sitting in a windowless office, speaking to high school kids who are seventy miles away, trying to get them to recall some nugget of Spanish that has been leeched from the murky waters of their brains!* God really has blessed the DLC. They might be saying that again when I announce that I'm leaving after June.

IN THE MEANTIME, I'll be enjoying tomorrow's sunniness (sunnyness? surely not- but sunni-ness certainly has some sort of foreign policy or socio-political ramification ["Sunnis are the true people of the sun", "they are blessed and radiant", etc.]) and trying to get some lesson planning done. I'm really unsure of how to keep drilling them on stuff they've already had. I know that I'm boring, but can that be helped? Distance education foreign language classes are inherently boring, I would think.
