It's The Same Old Song

School started two weeks ago. After staying up late during the summer, it's hard adjusting my sleep schedule to these early (and loud) mornings. However, teaching is going better than expected. Today, a large group of dedicated students held a celebration for "The European Day of Languages." The event included songs, dances, dialogues, and power points in at least six different European languages. Though I expected to be exhausted after the event, it's amazing how ten hours of sleep can help you meet such a strenuous day.

At the end of summer, I took photos of the rooms at the Peshkopi Hostel for their website. It was a great learning process. My lens wasn't wide enough to capture the whole rooms. I ended up going there about three or four times. Each time, I did something a little different and felt that I learned something by the end. Or, at least, I feel more competent than before.

Today's track is "It's The Same Old Song" by the Four Tops. Another post-unrelated track, just part of the soul vibe that I've been in lately.

The newly created "Ginger Bar"at the Peshkopi Hostel. I can't wait to start playing some Les Baxter and Martin Denny there. 

The hostel's new dog, Ginger. Truly a cosmic coincidence, since my dog back home is also named Ginger.
