more ESL

we have to ask questions to make sure students understand what we're teaching them. they're called concept check questions, or CCQs. we have to write down the answers to our own CCQs. the whole process is a lot like a lawyer preparing to question a wily and unpredictable witness. there has to be no question or answer you have not anticipated.

i had such a nice talk with s on the couch. kind of made me realize my high opinion of myself is a bulwark against self consciousness and any number of neuroses that afflict other people. i usually just think however i am is okay. i hope that doesn't mean that i'm constantly in a posture of foisting the not-okay-ness onto whomever i'm with, but i suppose that's a part of it. what a simple, happy guy i am.
