when is it too much?

one of my students is a really nice older man. he lately has been bringing nina and I candy or cookies from the cafeteria and its really nce of him1 i can tell nina is hesitant to eat it though lol. he really is so nice and adorable but im no usre when enough is enough. lately he has been waiting for us to leave so he can walk us out. he at first just came with us dow the street until he had to turn. then he followed us to the traffic light. and this time he followed us all the way to the bunting center... was he thiniking he could come home with us?? we carefully avoided that thankfully, but i dont know how to wuite handle this. he really is harmless but you cannot trust everyone. thankfully next is out last class and then he wont be ableto make anymore moves! haha.. at least he is not like the other men in the cafeteria who woot and holler and whatnot at us when we ask if they want to join class!

i cant believe it

you never really know what you have until you take a good look at what other people dont have. our favorite regular woman told us today that she is pregnant again! that would be wonderful news, except for the fact that she is homless, 50 years old, has cancer, and her boyfriend is in Jail. what a life... she is not excited for the new TWINS.. especially because her only son has a mental defect, probably due to her alcoholsim. she has missed a class once, which she later told us was because she needed to go back to the hospital for her kemo. i wish i could help her more than just giving her a creative outlet, although she is having a wonderfl time and keeping me entertained as well. we have been doing more jewelry as well as some painting. we even made our own beads! the next project is to frame some of the pictures we have in our collection and hang them around the very stark, bare room we call home.

people here are really crazy.

some dude that has never been to or class before started crying to me today. what the hell...! he was really sincere, he was confiding in me about his drug problems and his hard times, and thentold me how he believes that God saved him from his bad ways and that he is glad he got another chance but he knows God onnl gives so many. it was nice, but super odd. there are so many wierd stories people have told me lately its ridiculous. i like that they want to confide in me though!
