This is always a strange time for me. My college classes have been over for weeks, but I'm still teaching the adult night classes. So basically, I'm only teaching one or two hours a day until my "real" vacation starts for the month of February.

I've really come to enjoy my adult classes. When I first started here my boss presented them as kind of an afterthought to the "real" college classes. But the size of the adult classes has grown, and there are even some whispers that we'll be hiring more foreign English teachers in the not-so-distant future. I get along well with all of the adult students, and I'm happy to call many of them good friends. (Also, they have cars and I don't.

Feeling strangely nostalgic for some reason. I'm not one to get homesick too easily, but the extremely cold weather triggers that little part of my lizard brain that misses my family and friends back in the States, and wishes we could all hang out near a fireplace watching the Redskins lose.

In any event, I'll be sitting on a beach/next to a pool by this time next week. I'm definitely looking forward to it. Dare I say, I deserve it. It's been a long semester.
