teeth and ambitions are bared
forgot to mention last night: they stuck me in a new classroom. I do not like it as much as the old one. it's got about 25 seats, which is too big for my class (average of 7 students), it echoes, it's badly lit, and it overlooks Dame Street, which is much too distracting for everyone. Also, it's on the fourth floor and that is a lot of stairs to walk. I got a new student this week; his name is Pablo and he's from Argentina. He looks like JP- it's the eyes and the lips. He's supposed to be in the advanced class, he says, so he'll be gone at the end of the week. And speaking of advanced, Isabele's moved up, so the class has much less sparkle. Reshmee and Rita are great, and the other three girls are reliable, while John is John. Still, though, I want more fun.
I bought sunglasses at Boots yesterday- it was a BOGO, but the stylish pair I thought would be more expensive turned out to cost less than the "active" pair. I'm gonna return the active ones and hope to find a pair that actually costs less than the trendy ones. They're biggish, without consuming my entire face, and they look good. Of course, now that I've bought them the sun we were forecast to have is just hiding behind cloud cover all day. (Also I have not seen Jens in a few days, that always takes the sun away.)
Turns out the new pill comes in normal as well as extended release- pharmacist's mistake. She's fun, though- from Australia, and I've seen her every month since I got here so she's familiar with me and all my problems. We have chats when I go in there. The new stuff doesn't look like the Ritalin from home (I was hoping it'd be the same stuff, damn). It doesn't feel much more effective than the stuff they call Ritalin here- again, a shame, but I'm giving it time to settle into my system.
