In an after Christmas sale, I bought some quirky brogues from my all-time favorite clothing company, Boden. I don’t much care for fashion (Must work on this!), but I like 99% of the things I see in the Boden catalogue, so a pair of man-shoes seemed just the ticket to step into my final semester.
Unfortunately, the leather was kind of stiff, so I got blisters on both feet. I realized this in my office after teaching. Since I didn’t want to continue clomping around with raw skin, I went a-huntin’ for a Band-Aid, but none were to be found in my building. The next best solution?
Scotch tape. I taped up my blisters and went blissfully to my first class period of German101.
Other things: I listened to the Les Misérables original London cast recording on the bus and teared up when Jean Valjean sings to the dying Fantine. Then to cover myself, I pretend to yawn.
I also sent an request for more information to a British boarding school advertising a position for an ESL teacher. Just for kicks.
I have fashioned many a bandaid out of tissues and tape.
Also, my new shoes chewed the crap out of my heels on Thursday so you are not alone.
oooh, finally a language that I’ve spent (slightly) more time studying than you (discounting English, just because, you know, I’m older)! we can talk sexy German to each other
Ich heiße Mica. Wie heißen Sie?
TESTING
*toot*
Nice idea with the scotch tape! Much cheaper than bandaids
