School Ma'am

It happened. I'm now giving English classes for an hour every weekday evening to my brother-in-law and his teenage friends. Yeah, they actually started to show up regularly. And after I put the smack down about showing up on time (instead of 40 minutes late), they all now promptly arrive within the first ten minutes of the hour.

I don't charge my brother-in-law, but the rest have to pay me 20 pesos for the hour. Between two and five guys come each time, so I'm pretty much rolling in money now.

My sister-in-law also asked me to give lessons to her eight year old son three times a week, so we're doing that too.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy teaching - coming up with the lessons, games, ways to acceptably dork out about language. (For those of you who read this blog but don't know me, I'm maybe a little bit dorky when it comes to languages and linguistics. Maybe we should say "a lot bit".)

I have to decide to do with my new found wealth. I might buy myself a luxury vehicle or a pet camel. What I'd really like, actually, is a pair of pants that fit me, since its now been a year and a half since I had a pair of pants in my size. I guess I'll save up for those. Maybe for my birthday.
