Last Monday I got a text message from the person who fired me saying he had a part time job for me. I was going to say no, but the student was someone I taught in afterschool class and he really wanted me to teach him. So now, on Sundays I'm teaching two 8 year olds from 10-12, and I make about $50 for doing that, which might not seem like a lot but when we eat out we usually spend around $6, so $50 pays for a lot here. I went there for the first time on Sunday and it went pretty well. I found out that the boy is from Australia and the girl is from Nigeria (they're both Chinese) so they learned English but now they're forgetting a lot of what they learned so their parents want them to have a tutor to help them improve their English.
Our roommate moved out last week. We actually already have a new one, but I haven't met him yet. It's definitely a small world because the last place he lived was in Howard County. I bet we have some mutual friends on facebook. Hopefully we will all get along.
Dan has a two week break. That means he's cooking dinner tonight, I'm excited. :)
We got a package from each of our families on Friday, within a couple hours of eachother. Now we have a ton of candy, which we're rationing, even though I would rather eat it all at one time and be sad later. Eating one fun size candy bar just makes me sad, but it's a whole lot better than no candy bar. We got some fall decorations too, which I hung up in our apartment, I would put a picture up but I'm at work and don't have it here and our VPN isn't working at our apartment so I can't get on facebook or my blog at home. We're both doing well, enjoying the nice weather this week, compared to the horrible coldness last week. We're also having a Lord of the Rings extended edition marathon, fun stuff.
Oh! And I got my passport back! The visa is good until the beginning of April, so that helps, and we are going to try to go to a church service on Saturday for the first time.
I love hearing updates from people, so if you want to update me on your life you can email me or send me a facebook message (my email is on my facebook page).
