Ajarn's 1st week teaching

Hello Everyone!

This is my first post! I woke up early (6 a.m.) Saturday to teach, walked outdoors, and it's a good thing I watched my step! I came across what appeared to be the remains of a bird. Bye, Bye, Birdy! There, tossed on the floor to my dismay were white feathers, followed by splashes of blood on the marbled steps. It was a bloody mess! Thank god for the gracious cleaning staff who wiped it clean by the next class.

Well, I am in my first week of teaching High School boys and to my surprise it has been delightful. Although, there has been some memorable times to highlight as I venture on to get to know the students. Today, I did a lesson plan on Money: "How do you spend your money?", I asked. One of my flamboyant students enthusiastically waved his hands, calling me over, "Miss Maureen, how is this sentence?" I like to spend money on buying taxi cab drivers, and I like to spend money on perfume. ha! Then, another told me he likes to spend his money on buying girls. As you can see, it is going to be an interesting semester. Especially at the end of the class when I was confronted with if alcohol is a need or a want to spend money on..hum..that gets me thinking, where is my glass of wine?
