Well it happened again.  I woke up early, went to school, taught three 80 minute classes, filled out some more paperwork and at 2:30pm my way home bought a piece of street-food roasted pumpkin.  At home, I made a grilled cheese sandwich to go with the roast pumpkin.  It's a great combo--part food of my childhood and part food of my current adventure.  The crispy cheesy sandwich pairs nicely with the smooth roast pumpkin making for a perfect lunch!

Then, I took a nap on my couch.  I am beginning to think that this is the only thing I can do when I get home from teaching my Wednesday classes.  Strange.  They are good kids.  It's just a long day and I am finding it hard to teach exactly the same thing three times back-to-back.

Today, I had this moment where I was like: hey I've already written this on the board.  I stood back and looked.  I hadn't then.  Then I started writing double words on the board.  "Hey, miss! I think you wrote take twice."  Yep I had.  Then I started leaving "e"s of the end of words.  They are kind of pesky: they do tak too much tim to writ.  (Really, why do we need them any way?)<!--more-->

So as soon as I finished lunch and sat down to send a few emails and write a post I got sleepy.  Eyes blurry and eye lids drooping tired, so I curled up on my couch and took an hour nap.  Upon waking, I decided that I should probably do something with myself.  I grabbed a copy of the film The Hours which I'd watched years ago after reading the book by the same title. It's a great film but kind of depressing.

Anyhow about 3/4 of the way in my MoM called on skype and I talked to her for 20 minutes or so.  Then I finished the movie and my dAd called.  I talked to him for an hour which the most time I've spent talking to him in weeks.  It was good to talk to both of them.  While I was talking to my dAd, I realized that he hadn't seen a number of photos in my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29050866@N06/" target="_blank">Flickr photostream</a>.  I talked him through it and he said: I bet not everyone reading your blog knows these are all here.

Well dAd, hard to say.  When I log into my Flickr account I can see that many of you are looking at my photos but I guess that it could just be my MoM looking at them over and over.  I know that she misses me--so maybe she just sits at her desk and hits refresh over and over--just kidding, MoM, I know that you are a busy bee at work.  It's hard work after all to keep dAd in the life style that he would like to be accustomed to.

Anyhow, here's the run down for those who need it (I assume that this is family rather than friends so my apologies for anyone who knows this stuff already).  I can use Flickr and upload 100MB of photos for free each month and I try do so.  Usually it means I upload 10 or 15 photos at once, a couple of times a month so if you see a few new photos in the feed on my blog along the right hand side it more likely than not means that there are other new photos that are up on Flickr but not appearing in the three photo photostream.  So either click on the photo (or the link at the bottom) and when you get to Flickr then click on my name karolinka.sofia and you can then watch a slide show of the photos or you can look through them one by one. As of this afternoon, I have something like a 100 photos up and I've tried to label them all so that you have some idea what you are looking at!!

Anyhow I am meeting friends for dinner shortly so I'm signing off.  Hope you're able to enjoy the photos--I know it't not the same as being here but I think that the photos will give you a sense of this beautiful country that I am living in.
