first day of classes

Today was the first day of classes! (that is, I finally started teaching my own classes). I'm teaching Beginning II and Int. I at Step Ahead and Int. I and II at the Sarojin starting tomorrow. The first class went pretty well! I have 3 students in Beg. who were in Paul's class, which is nice, because I already know them. Then I had 3 new students, but two of them will probably move down to Paul's class because I think mine is too hard for them. We need more students, actually, so I'm hoping that more will sign up this week.

On Saturday, I met with my language partner, Clear (that's her nickname) for the first time! We are planning to meet for a few hours every Saturday. We are a good match for each other, I think. We spent the afternoon just getting to know each other, and I learned a few new Thai words. Her English is quite good, which is nice. She mainly needs help w/ pronunciation and tenses. We talked about our families and how we came to know the Lord. She became a Christian at her university in Chiang Mai.

On Wednesday, Jit is teaching me how to make a different curry (I think it's called Mossiman). I am looking forward to that! Unfortunately, I had a migraine yesterday, and it has carried over to today a bit. It is a very mild headache, but I had the visual symptoms yesterday morning (blurry vision in one eye, extreme sensitivity to light). I'm getting a little annoyed w/ all the health problems- it's either stomach problems, or being really tired, or migraines... please pray for me to be healthy again.
