I hit a wall yesterday. It was a small wall, but a wall none the less. I will not go into details since the they have been cleared up but we have had some scheduling problems for the last two weeks. I got embarassed and my feelings hurt in front of my students. I had a big crying jag at home and I feel a little bit better. I can see how to get over the wall now. So now that has been said....on to some fun things.

I went to Nurnberg on Monday. Penny and I had so much fun. She got to show me around one of her favorite places in Germany. We shopped, we ate and we shopped some more. I didn't buy much, a few Christmas presents and a scarf for me.

Thanks to all of you who sent birthday greetings via email and packages. I had a wonderfull birthday, one I will always remember.

Just a reminder, if you are going to send me anything for Christmas, it must arrive at the school by Dec. 19th. Our holiday starts after that and I won't be able to receive packages until Jan. 5th. The post office told my mom to send by the middle of Nov. I hope that helps!

I am so excited! I am going to start a film discussion group with my older students. They are excited about it, too. I will let you know how it goes. Have a great weekend! Jessica
