Update
Weekend two of three has now past.
This - being the middle weekend - is more difficult of the three for a handful of reasons. First of all, the feeling of being swamped under the weight of all the information being thrown your way is enough to make ones head swim.
Secondly, its the grammar weekend. For us native speakers of English, unless we have an innate love for the inner workings of grammar, we are usually not aware of what the grammar types are called and how they are being used in a a sentence. Learning how to recognize the grammar we use in everyday life and learning how to be a good communicator of said things to those who have no framework for it - is a bit overwhelming.
All in all it is going good.
This week will find me solidifying my mini lesson that I need to teach to my class, gathering resources, trying to find sleep, finishing the first season of "Lost", and drinking lots of water. I cannot believe that this course is over next weekend. Very strange.
