This is my second week in Lithuania and also the second week teaching macroeconomics at LCC international university. So far it has been interesting. My first class was a bit overwhealming since I knew some of the students in my class. When i was a student here 3 and 1/4 years ago we used to be friends. So that was a weird dynamic, especially when one of them called me Miss Lorna.

Back in college I loved macroeconomics, I think is a great subject however teaching it is quite hard at times. My students always have questions that in some instances are hard to respond to, since Macro can be abstract at times. However I am trying to include as many current events as i can. It's hard for me not to talk about development while I lecture. I have shown videos, especially of developing countries, and their response to them has been positive. But it surprised me when one of them said: Poor people are lazy and that's whay they are in that situation. Also many of them didnt know that countries like Belize, Indonesia existed. So my next assignement for them is a research project in the macroeconomic situation of countries that they don't have a clue that exist. Will see how that goes.

Being back here is nice even though it seems weird at times. I live in the dorm I lived when I was astudent so it brings back a lot of good and bad memories as well. anyways,so far I am enjoying it and will teach this semester and a summer session and then will be heading home for the summer time.
