Early mornings

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 | By avant-garde_chauvintist | Views [983]

I’ve been sleeping with the doors and windows open to let in the breeze lately.   I don’t really want to buy more electricity credit before I leave, and my air conditioner doesn’t really work that well anyway.   So any sounds that ... Read more >

The lesson on “Imagine” in my text book led to an idea for my final quiz.   I ran it by Mario and Ilan to make sure I wasn’t insane.   With a confirmation that it didn’t seem to hard, I plunged into it, really excited about the idea.... Read more >
