i had a group of students today and they said i was very good and like. i know i'm struggling but jesus christ that just healed my soul, yk? like i barely speak any italian, i'm far away from home, my voice is in danger of quitting on me, but my students seem to like me, and that just. makes me feel really okay.

#( OUT OF SOULS. )#( there are many highlights )#( of which i shall now name a few )#( first: the really shy kid in my first class who went from barely whispering his name to excitedly yelling the word for hangman )#( then the man who walked into my next class and was ELATED when i closed the door bc he could say 'this door is closed!' )#( also the doctor who found it utterly delightful to teach me italian and medicine and kept giving me fist bumps as he did so )#( and then the older man who sat in my final class and (with the utmost sincerity) asked me not to go baking at midnight tonight )#( to which i agreed )#( but only if he agreed not to engage in any judo fights )#( bc we just learned the word judo and the phrase 'apply energy' so i was like )#( 'last night i decided to bake a cake and i applied a lot of energy until 2AM' )#( and he was v disapproving )
