and now for something completely different

I know, I've written more than usual about teaching lately. There's not much else going on. I may teach an intensive English course in July with a Chinese woman, though they originally wanted 2 foreigners. Why do they have to settle for "just" me (hmmpf!)? Because in a week, I'll be the only foreign teacher at my university. Things have been pretty quiet here to say the least, and the smallest things thrill me. I was pitifully elated when I bought eggs and lightbulbs at the grocery store, and they all made it home without breaking. Go me!
