In the first class they had a vocab test. Then they had a worksheet on the use of "For" vs use of "Since"(for = a period time, whereas since = a specific date). They did some adverb exercises and then played an adverb game of memorise where they had to match an adjective to its corresponding adverb. In the next class they did a listening comprehension about dress codes. I also saw Infinity War it was awesomeeeeeeeee.

Dienstag 1/5
IT WAS A FREEE DAYYYYYY. I had a productive day actually. I sorted out my modules for next year at university, sorted things for my house and did some writing.

Mittwoch 2/5
The students had to read out a conversation about a famous celebrity who crashed their car due to paparazzi and answer questions about it. Then they had a text about mass media and answering questions about that.

Donnerstag 3/5
The students were again looking at literary devices in "A Dream of an Hour"..

Freitag 4/5
I did my Birmingham lesson and it went well. Then I did some shopping and gave my Nachhilfe, which also went well. We spoke about the past tense and went through some stories from his school book and answered questions and discussed the themes.

Samstag 5/5
I cleaned the apartment and started packing.

Sonntag 6/5
I went homeeeeeeeeee. Wasn't impressed with the taxi driver who criticised my clothing. Didn't realise that I was sat next to one of my students on the train until her brother got on at the next stop. The seating position like a 4 but there was only 3 chairs. So you have: chair 1, chair 2, then opposite chair 2 is chair 3. I was sat in chair 2 by the window and my suitcase was crammed in between chair 2 and chair 3. Student was sat on chair 1. Her brother then wanted to sit on chair 3 so we were all just CRUSHED. But he started talking to me in German and English about me and my life and told me about himself, which made a nice change, because usually the train is very boring and I was conscious of my phone battery life. Got to the airport 3 hours early which is always great. Had a croissant, checked in, zoomed through security, rang Joe (who was on his way back from Heathrow) and my mom. Got home. Had a Carling and a rack of ribs. Loved life.

Montag 7/5
Joe and I got up early and went to our house. I helped him scrape the wallpaper off the walls, we picked out some paint colours and I stared at the sofa swatches for about an hour. Then my mom came over with my grandparents and we decided to check out the local for some lunch. The beer was nice but I waited over an hour for a cheese and ham toastie and when it came it was probably the worst thing I've ever had. I cut it into four and only managed to eat one triangle of it. We live and we learn. Joe and I went back and did some more work on the house, then we went home.

Dienstag 8/5
We did more work at the house, picked out more paint colours because I was unsatisfied with the first lot. Finally decided on a colour and I managed to pick out a sofa. Adult decisions are exhausting trust me. We had a meal deal for lunch, which I have so missed. Lov u sensations sweet chilli crisp. 

Mittwoch 9/5
My dad came over to help us with the house and we got a lot done and bought some things that you see in B&Q and think "who the hell would ever need that?" The plumber came and sorted out our radiator (wouldn't turn off so couldn't take it off the wall to get the wallpaper underneath it). We picked out our curtains and Joe and dad put up the curtain pole. 

Donnerstag 10/5
Joe had been called into work so I couldn't go up to the house, which was disappointing but we had done a lot in the time we'd had. I just sorted out my wardrobe and drawers and put some stuff on eBay and in boxes.

Freitag 11/5
Had a stroll up to Greggs because I've missed Greggs a lot too. I also did some more sorting out. Then my dog and I lay under a blanket and had a rather long nap. At 7pm I went out with my dad, his girlfriend and my brother for a meal and some beers at Spoons. 

Samstag 12/5
Deb, my nan and I went to Dunelm to pick up some cushions to go with my curtains and a toothpaste holder. Then Deb and I went to Greggs (again!) and did the food shopping at Tesco. In the evening, we ordered a pizza and watched Eurovision.

Sonntag 13/5
I had to leave again which sucked but there's not much time left here anyway. I just have to enjoy the present. The travel back was fine and smooth, but the taxi driver at the train station told me to ask his colleague to take me because it was Sunday and he didn't want to go too far- I live a 10 minute drive away and like, its your job, dude. But anyway apart from that it was great and the weather here is beautiful.

Enjoy your weeks!
