  • Joe Teach-a!!!

    Where was I? Oh yeah, the rest of Tuesday. I have to write these things down as they happen, or I’ll forget things. I know there were a lot of little things to blog about, but it’s all a blur. When I returned from immigration, I observed some more classes. I’ve quickly become friends with…

  • Registering the Alien
