Summer ESL

I've just started teaching in a 6-week intensive Summer College ESL program at Cornell. So far I think I'm going to enjoy the program and my students. I have eight young men and women from China in my class, all between the ages of 16-17. They are very bright and I look forward to knowing them better.

Mom got her cast off yesterday and for the time being she is still in her apartment, but with additional home health aide hours every week to assist her with the things that are difficult for her to do. Meantime, I am still exploring other options for the eventuality of a more assistive living environment.

My ankle is healing very slowly after spraining it a month and a half ago (too slowly for my pleasure). I have started T'ai Chi again in the last 2 weeks, which seems to be helping, though.

Although I am swamped with summer college work, the film is never far from my mind, and I am jotting down notes for pieces of script when they come to me. Oh, and my mother found a treasure trove - she'd printed and kept every email I'd sent to her from Korea (thanks for being a pack rat, mom!) so I've started culling through those for any gems to include).

As always, thanks to everyone for their support!
