Becoming Roman

In continuation of living with Mallus in Hyderabad and learning Malayalam, I am now living with Colombians and Germans and Slovenians and Japanese and learning Korean… I personally view this progression as highly typical of my life thus far.
Also the ATM barred my card today... I think I'll just pretend today didn't exist... since I intend to travel extensively in the years to come I think I can adjust this one day in between the time zones... I'll just have to remember to travel east to west... or is it the other way about?
Lesson for prospective academicians: Never have classes before lunch if you want students to remember what they learn for years to come. Or after lunch. Or around breakfast or snack-time. I know it's a little hard... but being such sterling people I'm sure you'll manage. Think of the little red engine who thought it could... and did... I forget what exactly... but that too goes to prove my point. I had horrid teachers mostly who either never believed me... or always did... and both types insisted on tutoring (I think this is the most onomatopoeic word there is) around meal times... considering everything therefore, I think I've turned out pretty well... snide comments on the next counter please... this is a cash-only line.

and therfor, the only time left for academicians to leave a lasting impression for years to come, is to teach when young studentes (thats to emphasize feminine) sleep...

and since, most of them in classes are caught napping, all is well with the world....
