e quando piove...

I walked out of class tonight to another storm! It doesnt just rain, it comes down and is accompanied with thunder and lightening. I cant believe that it really did change seasons over night. I love the rain, dont get me wrong. Living in a city where foot is my main mean of transportation might be a different story. So much for the cute new sandals and beach towel I bought when it was 100 degrees a week ago. My first teaching experience was "eeeehhh"...I taught Italian adults in an intermediate level English class. It is hard to teach concepts to students that I myself am trying to grasp. I mean, I know English because I speak it, but to answer why we say things certain ways, is much harder. I just wanted to say " because we do", when asked why, but I couldnt. Another obstacle was that their accents were so strong I struggled to understand them. I can only imagine how I sound to them. Lastly, as we all know, I need to drop "like" and "um" from my vocabulary immediately. Anyway, I teach new students tomorrow (Wednesday), and hopefully I feel more confident. After all, they dont really care who is in front of them, as long as they learn something. Off for pizza now. Mmmm!
