Three more weeks until the end of first semester. I've taught 40 math lessons to Grades 7, 10, and 11, given out two detentions, moved several people to new seats in the class, marked three tests, set several assignments, and told loads of jokes that teenagers just don't get. Oh well, I laughed. I've also written about fifteen assignments for the university course and I'm getting very good grades, thank you very much. I've given two presentations, one on the history of Venice and one on indigenous education and both went down pretty well. Starting to make some friends - I'm no longer just that old guy who sits at the front. Mind you, I have shirts older than most of the people on my course.
Family is all well. The children are both in the school choir and will today be entertaining the school with a rendition of The Monkees, "Believer," which I feel like I've been humming to myself for about a month. Yesterday we all went to see Cirque de Soleil - we bought tickets for Hannah's birthday and she was amazed over and over again. Sam on the other hand wanted to leave at halftime. I sat between them and while Hannah was making "wow, oooh" sounds, Sam was making sighing and groaning noises and even yawned a couple of times. Kids.
Hope all is well in America.
When semester is over (June 12) I have five weeks off. We are going to go to Sydney for a few days. I will also be up for a Skype conversation. Anyone want to book some dates?
