I've Been Teaching + Apt. Photos

This key hurts in the pocket.

So we're on a five-week break from the monotony of training, and we'll go back to a two-week super-session where the PC volunteers will get all they need to know to be successful for the next two years.  During this five-week break, we're to figure out what we would like to do where we're placed, and I wanna teach.  As if those of you who know me would think any differently.  Teaching is draining and you spend many hours away from the classroom grading - sometimes spending seemingly more time grading or giving feedback that the student originally put into whatever you're looking at.  That said, I wouldn't have it any other way.  I just want to teach.

I quit my teaching job at California State University, Sacramento, so that I could join the Peace Corps and teach. So, during this five-week period where we're supposed to integrate and develop relationships with our counterparts and other community members, I'm teaching. I have taught seven classes so far and it's really been a good time.  The students are interested and mostly engaged - there's a gender break-down in engagement here in Albania where women make up the vast majority of attendees at the university.

I just realized, this blog post has not been cohesive. I would demand (from a student) revision and some idea logical flow of ideas - how is this a good text? With that said, here are some pictures of my apartment and more views from my balcony!
