The last appartment with internet access

Sorry I haven't finished updating this week! Because most of the assistants leave this week, they cancelled their internet contracts before vacation... and because none of them have internet, our appartment has become the internet cafe/student union/epicenter of English life in Valenciennes. Consequently, I haven't been online as much. We cooked up chicken enchiladas, curry, and a picnic in the park.

Yesterday, the weather felt actually warm! I started a new tutoring job with a 7-year old Japanese girl named Hinata, and almost broke a sweat walking over to their house. She already has killer English, it will be a challenge creating lessons on her level. Their next door neighbors (6-year old twins!) want to start English lessons as well.

One of my favorite classes has a blog, and they are working on an article about me! In case any of you are interested, click here.

Did I ever mention that French students bring birthday cake to school on their birthdays? And they give a piece to each student in their class plus all the teachers! I find this to be a marvelous tradition.
