I spent 11 weeks trying to plan lessons and games to get them to dive in and discuss things in English, and on week 12 we went to a cafe and I said "Speak English" and they got more passionate about the L-Word than anything I'd put work into. :P We never did reach an agreement- about half the students very much wanted Jenny dead."If I'm talking about the end of the series, can I say it was bullshit? Does that work?"Then I got to teach them "power suit" and "hot mess". Haa Some of my students here got into a heated debate on whether or not Jenny was truly dead.

You have incredible spelling/all other skills for being an infant. Also, you guys have been like my lesbionic lightsaber this year, helping me fight off all of the evil conservative meanies/whateverkindofcreaturesyoufightwithalightsaber. Thank you. I love you. I would kiss you on the mouth with lots of tongue if you were here/consented. It’s crazy that you guys are only like 1 years old because you are like my gay mommy.
