1. Yes, I love videogames, and yes, I did spend most of the weekend playing my newest fav, Skyrim. Unlike the other open-ended games that Bethesda makes, I don't find the scope or freedom of this one paralyzing: instead, the snowy peaks and frosted hills beckon, then entrap me.
2. Facilitated by a teacher from my school in St. Margarethen, I set up a Scottish Country Dancing course in the Volkshochschule in Tamsweg. Starting at the end of February, I will lead a weekly SCD practice with people from the community. I can't wait.
3. Shortly after arriving, I discovered that other assistants (in French and Italian) are here only every other year. So I've thought I was alone--until now! I met up today with another English language assistant in Tamsweg, who is from Poland. I look forward to getting to know her better. (Interestingly enough, she randomly met another Polish person in the Chinese restaurant we were in! I enjoyed sitting back in my chair, letting the sounds of an undecipherable foreign language wash over me.)
4. I also held my first private tutoring session today. My student is a 12-year-old girl whose biggest issue is not trusting herself. She has ability and can learn, so I look forward to this year.
