No classes today. It's devoted to time with the language coaches. A few in the group who have not done so will do a craft class.

I think we'll have to get rid of this craft class for next and substitute something else. If it weren't for the Russian-language exposure, I'd cancel it for this year as well.

The host family of our student Lewis has decided that they are sick of the city heat and will now leave for a month. They are very nice folks, but I'm beginning to think they are a bit flakey. Of course we won't let a student stay for a month in a local home by himself. The whole point of a host family is to have someone to talk to, so we are switching him to another host family.
