Studying and Working Hard

This week has been busy. We started language class on Monday and our school classes require lots of work outside the classroom. On top of that we had/have observations at work this week and are in the middle of a hassle with the doctor's billing department (it's things like this that help me to understand why people get gray hairs).

Our language class has been good. The main teacher has been busy, but the other teacher has done a decent job. I (Matt) am probably trying to ask too many extra questions when he wants to teach us the basic stuff (but I really want to know "why" not just this is how it is, because I KNOW later he will tell us that what we learned at the beginning was only half the truth). Angela is enjoying it as well, but both of our heads are spinning. We take notes the entire time and so far, with two classes down (4 hrs), we have been given about 75 new words - actually more like 125, but about 50 of them were old words for us as we have learned them already. All this to say, it's a lot.
