Y5 D360

Remember what I said yesterday about stomach problems being in our way? Not last night. Woo! Explains why I slept so well last night too.

Taught yesterday to one student. One non-english speaking, isn't really paying attention, coughing up a lung the entire class, student. Seriously. My student is from MO and I don't know how anyone there understands a word she says. She is Chinese and has a strong thick accent. She also is recovering from a bad cold and spent the entire day coughing up a lung. The upside? With only one student class went extremely fast yesterday. It's a 3 day class and we are already 3 hours into day two material. I am figuring we can get through this in 2.5 days instead of three. That's the good part. It doesn't really surprise me though. A class like this has a certain amount of buffer built in to it for a reason. When there's 10 people, it takes me much longer to get everyone logged in, setup, etc, With one person we got through the hard stuff like that in minutes. Also she has some knowledge of the system already which means I don't have to go through all the basic slides. I skipped through about 10 slides. Downside is I am not doing any of my jokes or normal material that makes the class flow well because it's one person and it would be weird. We finished up early yesterday and I took a nap. After I woke up I watched Arrow and waited for B to get home. She was in the mood for Italian and we headed out for dinner. We went to a little local place which turned out to be really good. A little pricey but good. When we got home B's words to me were "I am going to take a hot shower and you're going to join me.". Okay! That led to some fun time for both of us.

Afterwards it was still early and B wanted to write. She has been writing again lately which makes me happy. I let her be for about an hour and then we both got into bed around 10:30.

Time for day two of Hung Chuk Loo. Sigh. The other upside honestly is she is east coast and wants to start early. Means we will finish early. Yay.
