Business Class on the brain

Business Class: We have had a great turnout. Averaging about 20 kids per session. While we have been working hard to keep the noise down, it is still too noisy. This week my assistant did not show up to help with the lesson, nor did he call me. Instead, he was out of town and a flaked. I ended up getting Guli, one of my Outdoor Ambassador students to help. He worked out well. Actually, too well. The kids started to complain about Ervis. The next day I set up a meeting with Ervis and 2 student reps. The kids were great in their discussion but Ervis was very defensive. Hopefully today I will talk to him and he will be more reflective. We will see how neser goes.
This weekend Leslie and I went with Arti and his gang of 8 women to visit Saranda, visit and any other places we passed along the way. The women were 12 to about 50years of age. To me the women were very nice, ragging a lot about my Shqip, put very nice and patient. One of the youngest girls about 14 spoke English pretty well and here mother English was better than my Albanian. Leslie could not stand the women however, maybe because she could understand what they were saying. Possible too, they sang and talked the entire trip while she tried to sleep.
Outdoor Ambassadors went okay.This week we took the picture and video to the Alex, or Port tourguide, as a thank you, for the tour. He gave me a bad time about my albanian but was very very happy with the gesture.

Arber Project is going along well. We have been approved for our video and translation stuff.

As for the 3 of us getting along we continue to be good friends and sitemates.......this is our lul time however, we finally know oneanother well enough so that getting to know conversation has stopped and we just spout off about anything on our mind. It is kinda relaxing. Pretty soon we be used to that and style of conversation and each others company will be back to normal. I am lucky to have easy to deal with sitemates
