Hi everyone,I've been sick lately which has been annoying, especially since my ears are plugged and hearing is
such a vital part of my job. My students have been so sweet, although I have been yelled at for not wearing
warm enough clothing and not bringing tea to class.
On saturday we went to the ballet, Master and Margarita. It was very good but R and I had
horrible seats. Everyone else sat in a good section but R and I sat on the highest balcony, right
behind a pole. Our tickets were $1, though, so it was worth it.

At intermission we moved to some open seats which were much better but both of us were sick so we almost fell asleep through some of it. The ballet is from a book by a Russian author. It was interesting and strange.
Other than that I spent the week in bed trying to feel better. Teaching six hours straight takes it toll and
my voice would be non-existent by the end of the night.
One strange occurence is that while we were at a friend's house one night her roommate called to tell
us that there was a dead body outside. This isn't anything new, although I haven't seen my first dead body yet, there are sightings by other teachers all the time. Anyway, she was coming home from work and saw some police officers hanging out by a dumpster. She looked closer and saw that they were all examining the body of a man leaning against the dumpster (she assumes they had dragged it out of the dumpster). She said it was very grotesque and described it in detail. We didn't go out to see it, I'll wait for my first dead body to come to me
naturally.
Anyway, other than dead bodies and colds nothing else is new here. Hope everyone is doing fine. Love, Jacy
