In Sunday School, I told the students that Tyndale and Wycliffe were "freakishly awesome", and then told them that I need a new adjective to replace "freakishly". They suggested awesome, amazing, and totally. I think that I won't try "awesomely awesome", but I might go with "totally awesome" and then try to slip in "totally radical" to see if they react.
Last week I was trying to explain about idioms and figures of speech to a student. The sentence was, "They were like three blind mice trying to find their way through a maze". She could not get what it meant, and thought that maybe they were blind or something. I finally got her to understand the concept, and then started telling her that she's just a blind mouse trying to find her way through a maze. She was not amused.
I have a pen in my office that was given to me by my MLA one day. He and the MLA from the next riding were at the bus terminal one day (I think the bus terminal is in the other MLA's riding, but it's close to the boarder between ridings and many of us come from the south and the next riding over). They had coffee, Timbits, and free pens. I almost feel bad about not voting for him.
We had our first Christmas Concert meeting yesterday. I guess it's Christmas time now. We start practices in 2 weeks. That gives me enough time to put the concert together (it's pretty much the same thing every year, with some changes to songs), and still gives us 4 Sundays to practice, plus the Saturday big rehearsal. This year the choir is joining us; they'll do a call to worship, and opening song, and then Silent Night at the end. They plan to sing the first verse in German, and then the congregation will join in with the rest (in English). I plan to tell my students, when they complain about how hard it is to learn the songs, that at least they get to do it all in English.
It's oddly warm for November. It's more like the beginning of October. It's nice.
