A Breath of Fresh Air

Today was our hotly anticipated first day with the new teaching team leader. Of course, all of the students are wondering what she's like, and what kind of dynamic she'd bring to class. Well, long story short, she's GREAT! She has a lot of teaching experience, at DLI, in the US, and in Sudan - all language related, and boy, does it show. She's patient, she appears to have a plan each hour, objectives for us to reach. I'm very excited for her to fully take over this week and make improvements as we head into the home stretch of our year at DLI.

On the downside for Susan and I, though, is the fact that Wednesday is our Unit 6 test, and we are light years from being ready for it. We're exhauseted, and we're really trying to push through today and tomorrow in order to get some kind of studying done, and learn some of these words. Since Christmas break, we flew through this unit, and it's really making us nervous.
