I was pretty homesick this week, so I listened to the Tennessee Waltz.

What activity was the most fun this week?:

I went to a movie and got dinner with a few of my students! It was a fun way to connect with them, and it was a great way for them to practice their English. They are wonderful people, and they are a lot of fun to hang out with. At the cinema, they forced me to try their ham-and-cheese-flavored popcorn. Yuck! 

What did I read this week?:

I started a book called The Courage to be Disliked. It talks about the importance of self worth and self value. There is a lot that I have learned from it, and I am excited to implement a few of those ideas into my own life. There are a few key points in the book that I strongly disagree with, but overall, it has been a worthwhile read.
