Yo yo yo,

Remember when I told y'all about how I had to teach my ESL class when the teacher was gone? Well the first teacher got fired, so I had to teach a couple classes until they found a new teacher, and I had to fill in for him a couple times when he was out of town.

I didn't mind at all, because as the semester went along I discovered that I really enjoyed teaching English. I love hearing the students' accents, and the way non-native speakers phrase things is really funny and interesting to listen to. Last week I was disturbed to realize that I enjoyed grammar.

So last week the site director mentioned that they were looking for teachers for next semester, and my class's teacher recommended me, so I'm totally gonna be teaching ESL level one next semester. It's a volunteer position, so I'm not getting any money, but it should open up the door to internships this summer.

So yeah, I signed up in August to be a TA for 20 hours to fulfill a graduation requirement, and now I'm kind of an employee of the New Orleans Archdiocese. Weird how stuff works out, huh?
