first day of work

Today was my first day of work. It went much better than I anticipated. Admittedly I was assuming that my students would be old business owners who did not want to speak freely and would look at me in contempt. Thankfully my entire class was late 20 to 30 somethings that were all very polite, knew what I was talking about and the entire class was more of a conversation. This put me a little at ease and we ended up having a good time. Hopefully they are learning some of the material that I am trying to teach. The company I work for has its own teaching style and an outline of what I am supposed to teach. We are told to deviate to make the material based more about them and I tried to do that. Anyways all the students skills in english seem a little above what the material is that I am trying to teach, but o well it is still helping them. 

other than that nothing new has been going on here. I have my apartment to myself this last week since my new roommate is out of the country and the old one finally moved out. The funny thing about my old roommate moving out was that the night before he brought a bunch of people over to drink at smoke at like 4 in the morning and then they stayed to 6ish. At the time I was pissed but I kept telling myself that he was leaving and I could handle one more night. Anyways the next morning he wakes me up early and thanks to the girl that stayed over with him, he had a lot of his stuff packed up. Now I found it funny that the girl helping him move his stuff out knew we were moving it to his girlfriends place. I must give the guy credit that he had this girl, who he sleeps with regularly, help him move his stuff to his girlfriends place.
