I successfully avoided napping on Monday. Second major achievement of the day? I knew 3/7 names of student. This is an improvement. Normally I look at them thinking, 'I spoke to you 2 weeks ago. You were with a different partner. Yet I have no idea what you're called.' *inward sigh*
I don't actually have much to write about. I haven't done very much. In fact, I have been very bored and very restless. Some how the ability to successfully entertain myself vanished.
I had a new class yesterday. Thy were entertaining. Well aside from guessing my age to be 18 and telling me they were going to facebook stalk me. Some of them actually tried right there and then. The delights of modern technology. Luckily they have no idea how to spell my name so they won't find me. When the groups swapped, the first lot didn't want to go back to their real class so one boy said "No, we can't swap yet, we have one more question." That one question... "What's your life story?" Sense of humour :) I took notes from Hannah's storytelling (Maybe I mentioned it, Niagara Falls?) and sent them packing.

Today I woke up and felt horrible; the moving made me (more) nauseous so I didn't go to work, which made me feel a bit guilty. However, I know I'm ill if I don't eat. I went down for lunch and had only a spoonful of potatoes and half a bowl of soup. So little food!
I came back to my room feeling sorry for myself and wanting only to sleep, until I remembered that I had a meeting. I decided to go to this meeting as it didn't involve pupils so I could be as pathetic and as grumpy as I liked. Essentially I was just reading through some exam questions looking for mistakes. The teacher was very nice, bought me a cup of tea. She also gave me a present. I now have a shiny cookbook of Vorarlberg cuisine, complete with a list of translations - dialect to German obviously. How nice! Anyone for Kässpätzle?
I'm feeling a bit better now. At least, I'm hungry and feel I could stomach some food. This is a good sign :)
