THE BREAKING NEWS

My students came home from camping. Mikhail, Daniel, and Emmanuel came in with bags of leftover food.

And they brought the French student.

My lost French boy has been found! Or rather, he was never lost. By yesterday I had started assuming he was with them. Boy am I glad my assumptions were correct. That would have been quite a nightmare otherwise.

Despite the slight scare I had, I am really happy that my students took Michel along with them. What a great welcome to a new and unknown house/city! They all came in exhausted and dirty, but with big smiles. Everyone said they had an awesome time.

Now I am off to take my 44-year-old Brazilian to CompUSA for his laptop purchase.

THE BRAZILIAN

Today my new student came! I am now the host father of a 44-year-old Brazilian man. A 44-year-old Brazilian man who has a wife and two kids.

He is nice and very low maintenance, which I love.

P.S. The French student is still gone! But I am beginning to believe he is with the other students. If he is, then I am pissed. How was I supposed to know? Talk about disrespectful, irresponsible, and inconsiderate. But mostly inconsiderate.

And they left a sink full of dirty dishes!
