My Trip to Boston

Hi, everyone. I hope you're enjoying your vacation so far. How was your class on Friday with Barby? I'm sure it was fine, but I do apologize for having to leave you, especially during our first week together. It was bad timing.

I did enjoy my conference, though. I spent 2 days going to many different seminars about new ideas in teaching ESL. It all made me think a lot about teaching. Hopefully, you guys will benefit from some of the knowledge I gained.

Now that I'm home, I'll try to comment on your blogs much more frequently. I enjoyed reading all of them when I returned tonight! Keep those blogs coming, and enjoy your vacation!

Stress

I picked a perfect week to begin a unit on stress. I am experiencing so much stress my self this week! At the end of the week, I have to go to Boston to an ESL teacher's convention. Before I go, I have to get a lot of work done for class and home. Two days after I return, I will have a lot of guests over for an important Jewish holiday, Passover. I have to cook special food and clean my house thoroughly. Since I'll be away right before then, I feel very stressed. To make matters worse, my Internet and printer have been experiencing problems over the last couple of days, so I can't even do my school work easily at home. At least there haven't been any bad traffic jams. Otherwise, I might be punching someone like in that cartoon we looked at today! Anyway, I hope the rest of you are having a calmer week.

WELCOME

Welcome to my blog, everyone. I'm excited to begin reading your postings and to get to know all of you better. I hope that you will use your blog to express your ideas and tell us about yourself. I also hope you will read your classmates' blogs and leave comments. The blog experience is only as fun and worthwhile as you make it. Let's make it the best class blog ever!
