Feeling a sense of....

freedom, because i am free for the rest of the day. It is around 11:30 now, What I hope to do is to work at this computer for another half hour, return home, freshen up, then go to the Pacino movie, and when that is over, head to Brooklyn to hear some lectures about Dr. King's legacy. Will I do it all? Hope so---still, when you are improvising as much as I am, one never knows.
Yesterday, the best laid plans turned out to be not much. My student finally arrived, and we worked for an hour---he is new to the city and country, and has a hard time relating to his material. I am trying to prepare him for his English exams, coming up this week, but it is ludicrous, going through texts that assume that the reader is familiar with a certain American lifestyle Many words and ideas are simply unfamiliar to him.My toughest student---really because of this.
At any rate, returned home and the tiredness set in---remained in the apartment for much of the evening, took some short walks around, but was mostly in.That is why I would really like to get out tonight.
Not much else to say---three days of no work at Friends, both good and bad aspects there. I have freedom for the rest of the day, but wonder when my next assignment (I actually have one scheduled for next Friday) will arrive. Other then that, we will let the chips fall where they may...
