Christmas cards in January. What fun to read all the messages from friends and family and know that they were thinking of me a month ago! I thought that using the school's PO box would be easy, convenient, and a money-saver. Now I know better. (Nothing is easy or covenient here!) It did save me a bit of money, but the frustration wasn't worth it. Mail is low priority here--the box gets checked only once in a great while. (I now have my own PO box in MZ where I live, and check it once a week.)
Audio books on Kindle. I just discovered that I can download audio books to my Kindle. The daily commute just got a whole lot more enjoyable! (Currently listening to "The Kitchen House." I recommend it.)
Emails from folks at home. This week has produced a bumper crop of communication--long emails back and forth with Katie and a couple of good friends. Ahhh, just what I needed! :-)
Skype. What a wonderful (free!) invention. I happened to come home early on Sunday (too pooped to go to the gym) and caught Arlene and Jadyn online before they headed out to breakfast.
Homemade soup. I made a bean, lentil, potato, vegetable soup on Sunday evening, put it in the crock pot Monday morning, and could smell it before I even opened my apartment door that night. (Comfort.)
My students. They delight me. They make me laugh out loud. They puzzle and frustrate me. They intrigue me and make me wish I spoke their language. (They are working hard to learn English!)
