State of my Life

State of My Life Address:

1. GET Classes have started; we've done three days of lessons, and today was a day "off" to catch up on lesson planning or whatever.

2. My M class called themselves Fantastic Rabbits. There were five students for the first two days: George, Kelly, Alice, Michelle, Carol. (I had each student give themselves English names.) On the third day two more students came: Angelina (who looks a bit like Ms Jolie) and Nikki. I've heard rumors that one or both of them will not stay in the class, but they are just rumors and speculation.

3. My N class called themselves Fighting Goats. Six female students: Jerry, Emily, Carol, Sugar, Eye, and Ann.

   They are nearly as shy as my shy girl class from last voyage.

4. I'm caught up on all my primary tasks of preparing and teaching lessons.

5. Ain't spent no money; ain't kissed no women on the ship.

   Those are not meant to be double negatives; I really haven't done either.

6. I have, however, flirted a bit with a woman in Yacht Club, whose name I can't necessarily spell correctly in English, but I think it's something like Alyona.

7. We three in 3027 have gone on one triple date with the three girls in 3029, and will give them another letter tonight. (the one requesting numeric 'data')

8. Today was the first nicely sunny day on the ship.

9. So far, we've been to Singapore and Vietnam.

10. All the ports past this will be new for me.

11. I've got 1/2 of one chapter left in _Xenocide_.
