The Way to an American’s Heart
Here’s an extra post this week to make up for my lack of activity due to the whirlwind of festivities that went on the week before last. I was so mentally exhausted that I delayed blogging about it because I … Continue reading

Surprise Assignment
My mentor teacher, U, came down with a light case of pneumonia a couple of weeks ago. I ended up substituting for her the week before and last week. Unfortunately, she hasn’t completely recovered, so I resumed my substitute-teaching responsibilities … Continue reading

Palaces and Terrorist Warnings
Great title, right? I always try to make the titles a bit interesting but this one didn’t take much effort nor creativity on my part. The past few days have indeed been filled with some touristy adventures laced with Berlin’s … Continue reading

The Little Moments in Life
