Valentine's Day
Okay...
We were at the airport at 9:30 pm to pick up our student on Sunday night. Then the flight was delayed until 11:30. Then it was delayed until 12:15. Yay.
So, I just finished showing her how to use the shower and now I am ready for bed. Her English is not very good and she is too nice to tell us when she doesn't understand something. So, like yesterday for instance:
Me: We have to leave the house by 10:15. (I even wrote it out on paper)
Her: Yah, okay.
Me: So you will be ready in the morning by 10:15? Do you need to use the shower?
Her: Yah, okay.
Me: What time do you need the shower?
Her: Yah, okay.
Me: Right....
Needless to say, 10:15 came and went this morning and I barely made it to class on time. Yay. Overall, the students are very nice and are a pleasure to be around. They start their English classes tomorrow morning so they will be learning more. That's what they are here for after all!
Why don't you introduce her to the movie with the BEST use of the English language & American culture - Napoleon Dynamite!!!! I can just see all the Chinese teens trying to emulate it now.....I mean, what is more American than tots???
