It's your thing

I was a little nervous for my first day of teaching, but I made it through without too much trouble. Got there early... had some help setting up the room from a student, introduced myself like nine times because I kept thinking everyone was there, and then another person would come into the room (hi I'm fred. Hi I'm fred. Hi I'm fred....).

I have three Russians, two Belarussians, a Lithuanian, a Cameroonian, a French redhead I suspect of being an Existentialist, and ten Germans.

Today we learned a little slang: "It's your thing." I explained what it means to "dig" something. And we defined "tone-deaf."

They should be ready for anything now.
