Hey everyone! Happy Friday! How’s your week shaping up? (=How’s your week going?)

Here’s something only my closest friends and students know about me. I am constantly drinking tea😅

Given that I come from Tatarstan (and tea culture is a big thing here), I obviously can't get enough of it (=can't stop drinking it). Literally, never.

I drink it when it's getting chilly to make myself feel all nice and toasty (=nice and warm). But I also don't mind sipping on a hot cup when it's scorching outside (=it's hot). I’m just wired that way, I guess! (=I'm programmed/build that way)

Also, I have a total soft spot for cute mugs.(=I like it a lot) I’ve accumulated quite the collection. And honestly, the ritual of picking out the mug for my morning drink instantly puts me in a better headspace. (=makes me feel better) Today, I started my day with this absolute cutie in the 2nd pic.

No classes on my schedule today, but my to-do list is stacked with lesson prep.(=full of lesson prep)

Wishing you all an absolute blast this Friday!
