"The MTC is still treating me well. We are suppose to only be speaking Albanian right now but it's pretty hard. I always try to have a dictionary with me so i can look up new words and learn how to say what i want to. This week has been a frustrating week for me though. There are so many of us in the classroom that i feel like the teacher haven't taught anything useful the past few weeks. Some people have a better grip on all the grammer principles and i feel like i still need help before we leave in 2 weeks. Im going to start asking them to take time and have small sessions because lately i feel like when the teachers are in the class im not learning anything because they just kind of talk to us and joke around. I have been working hard but i need to keep at it because i know i have so much more to learn. We get our flight plans this friday!!! So next week in the email i will let you know around what time i'll be able to call you. I have been here 2 months but time is just flying bye. The next 22 are going to go by so fast. Everyday im busy and working hard. Almost at anytime during the day i could fall asleep because im so tired but i just keep going somehow,lol.
I told you this before but every thursday we teach in the TRC in Albanian and last week we thought we were only going to teach half of our lesson because my and my companion had a ZL meeting. We teach at 7 and dinner is a 6 so right as we are about to sit down and eat our teacher is like hurry come with me we found some volunteers who came in early so you'll teach the whole lesson. So we went into the lesson extremely nervous but ended up just asking tons of questions and taught for 45 minutes and gave the whole lesson. My hardest part is just understanding what they are saying. I can usually say what i want but understanding is a whole different story. Its frustrating at times. Im trying to think of what else you might want to know. The RC has been alright the past few weeks. Thats where we call people up and make sure they received what they ordered. This week we did chat and talked with people. I dont really like chats because its hard to read what the other person is thinking. I cant wait until i can just be face to face talking with people. I havent played soccer for awhile. Our Chile opponent 's left so now we just play volleyball. During our 6:30 am gym the field is closed so we have to go inside. I know i have no order to my emails but hopefully you enjoy them. Just know everything is good here. I love the language and am ready to get over there and not understand a thing,lol."
