dear mom and dad,

we're more than half way finished with this term at work already, it's flying by. crazy. and yet, i got a new student in my class the other day! it was his first time at the school so he didnt have an english name. i named his Curtis. i love when i get to name the students. so far i've named a girl Dolores, another Reece, a boy Robert, another Luis, and now curtis!

i actually wanted to give robert the name of Eli, but he didnt like it. he liked Robert, tho, so if it's good enough for dad, it's good enough for him i guess. it's still cold and snowing here and there, i hate it of course. nothing else to say, just wanted to say hi. k, bye. ~daughter.

dear mom and dad,

hi! we're on week 7 in the term here, time is flying by. i feel like i have a bunch of classes of geniuses, they answer the questions before i even ask it, it's wonderful.

i checked out dr fish not too long ago, i dont remember if i told you. it's a chain of cafes here where you can have coffee and pastries while you have your feet in a tank with little fish that eat away at the excess skin on your feet.

i didnt do it, but a couple of my friends did. it freaked me out just looking at it, they're so little and there are so many of them! i couldnt even watch for a full minute. my friends said it didnt hurt, just tickled a bit.

ive found that my visa doesnt expire until february 24th, so i have to stay to work until that day. so it looks like coming home in february is out, perhaps april? as soon as i know, you'll know.
