One year later!
Hello everyone! Well, I’ve officially been teaching my own lessons for just over 1 year now! I started in December 2023, and 12 months later, I’m still going strong! Making lessons, teaching lessons, seeing my students’ wonderful smiles - it really is my dream job, and I couldn’t do it without each of you!
November was a VERY rainy month, the rainiest November in my hometown in over 130 years! We don’t have a “rainy season” here… every month is pretty wet and rainy! But November was very unusual in that regard.
But one thing I did do in November is set up my Christmas tree! It’s nothing special - it’s a cheap tree that’s over 15 years old, and I’m not good at decorating - but it gives me a sense of warmth and nostalgia!
Beneath are some presents for my friends and family. This year, I also practiced my present-wrapping skills. I’ve wrapped presents for years, so I was pretty used to it, but I never bothered to make it look super pretty. But this present that I wrapped was pretty embarrassing…
So I looked on YouTube for a tutorial, and I’m pretty pleased with how much better my wrapping looks now!
Still not perfect, but much neater!
As for other news, I’ll be volunteering at an English cafe at my local church to help immigrants improve their English! There will be many Ukrainians there, but probably other nationalities too! I’m looking forward to meeting new people, and a different style of teaching… and if they want to come to Rainbow English too, that would be even better! 😇
We’ve already had some snow, but nothing that has stuck around. For now, I haven’t had a chance to use my new snow blower. It was very expensive, but I’m excited to not shovel so much snow this year. I hope I can get a video of it in action!
For my next blog post, I’ll try to get some pictures of local Christmas lights! Several houses are already decorated, so I hope I’ll get some beautiful shots! Until then, see you all next time!
Here’s to another year! Let’s go 2025!!
