Today was Nick and Jeff's day to teach, which meant Ryan and I had the day off from school. We spent a good portion of our afternoon at our favorite coffee shop. I wrote poetry and Ryan read the book "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. The book is about reaching enlightenment and finding your higher consciousness. We were taking turns reading it. I would read a few chapters, and then he would read a few chapters. We would discuss it and share our thoughts. The book was a great preparation for our meditation retreat. Many of the concepts and ideas discussed in "A New Earth" were also in "The Way of The Peaceful Warrior", which made it even more rewarding to read simultaneously. We spent a few hours at the coffee shop reading, writing, and discussing enlightenment, consciousness, and life. On our walk back to our apartment we felt happy and motivated. At 5pm we went to an Irish pub nearby which advertised online that they played recorded warrior games. We went in and watched the warriors vs wizards. It was the first time in over a month that we watched a warriors game on tv. The pub had American food as well as Thai. We ordered garlic cheese bread and potato wedges. The food was so simple, but so delicious. It was by far the best American food we had. After the game we went back to the apartment. Shortly after, Nick knocked on our door and told us about his day. He said that his lesson was a little rocky at first, but overall good.He also mentioned that our advice was beneficial. When we asked him how Jeff did,he rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. He told us that Jeff showed up to school late wearing shorts and sandals. Jeff told Moz that he wanted to arrive at the catholic school later in the day. Moz wasn't happy. He said that this would take away from the time that Moz had to observe Nick's lesson, because Moz would have to leave Nick, to pick up Jeff from school, to bring him to the catholic school. Although Moz was frustrated with Jeff's change in plans he agreed. Nick said he hung around after his lessons to watch Jeff teach. He said that Jeff's first two lessons were disastrous. They were boring and not well planned. Apparently Jeff didnt make any flashcards, or have any activities for the kids,except for the provided worksheet. Jeff left the class in the middle of his lesson and walked outside to where Nick was sitting, and asked Nick if he could borrow his materials. Like a nice guy, Nick gave him his supplies. After his lessons, Moz ripped him a new one, telling him his lesson was horrible, and that there was no effort or preparation in the lesson.After Nick told us this we all stood there for a moment shaking our heads in disbelief with Jeff's behavior.Then we said goodnight to Nick and spent the rest of our night listening to our audio book.
