pros and cons

Really dreadful things about school starting again:

• getting up early
  
• responsibilities
• not reading a book a day
• being inside during all 2 hours of daylight for the next 2.5 months
  
• really incompetent students
• not cooking all day long
  
• not being able to leave the country any time I feel like it...like tomorrow
  
• German class
  

Good things about school starting again:

• money
• having my favorite Nepali student back in my class!
• throwing ESL parties instead of having lecture so they can make me delicious food from their native lands...only occasionally, of course
  
• meeting my students from Kuwait and Thailand...oooo
  
• German class
• fantastic fellow teachers
• getting days off (this is different from having every day off because their rarity makes them more enjoyable)
