Classy Classes
I started my classes last week, the students for the most part are great- and it is very obvious when they don't understand something, which was something I was worried about. I often feel as if I am reciting a solilioque wrong, cause I am up there at the front of the class performing like a jack-ass with absolutly nop response. But that doesn't happen most of the time, and thankfully my 2 beginners classes have been handed over to Sudanese teachers.
Everyday I teach a class at Niliain (that means two niles) University in the Computer Science Faculty, it is in Khartoum so I get to see the Nile twice every day. The guy who drives me is super shy so he never says anything, which is fine cause I am usually tired of talking by that time. I do know that he is a big Janet Jackson fan though... He drops me off in front of the Heavily guarded/fenced US Embassy, so that everyone probably thinks I am American (if they don't already)! I suppose it is worse to be Danish right now anyway, I just hope Stevie Harper minds his manners while I am here.There are sooo many stray dogs that sleep outside the embassy, yesterday I counted 8 altogether puppies and big dogs all in a big gross flea infested pile! At least they aren't mangy or rabid. I always walk very carefully around them, although I almost stepped on one yesterday we all know it is best to let sleeping dogs lie....
