Opening night

The building you see here is the one we are dreaming of buying. Actually, you can change your petitions now because the owner has agreed to sell but he's come up with a ridiculous price, so now we need to ask that he'll be willing to come down to something within our reach. We dream on...
Our English program got off to a great start last night! It feels good to be back in the classroom and mingling with students, even though I'd be the first to admit that I am not a born teacher! But I love people. The air was full of excitement as students arrived more than an hour early to pay their fees and get their books. There were unexpected reunions happening as some found their friends among the crowd, not knowing that they had also registered. It was fun to watch. We thought break time would be chaotic with all 60 students breaking at once but it was orderly and smooth. We served 60 cups of hot tea with sugar; they dumped another several spoonfuls into their cups on top of that! Kurds like it sweeeeet! It was all a great team effort and went off without a hitch. Thanks for your thoughts toward us.
