Swine Flu Hysteria 2010!!!

Oh jeeze. A few kids at school have come down with H1N1 again so the director got her panties in a twist and canceled classes for the week. I had to come in today and yesterday to do student evals and planning but I have Thursday and Friday off with nary a care in the world. Huzzah!

My brain is a bit mush from all the lesson planning but I did notice a wonderful little gem in the reading book for the five year olds. The chapter is about a marching parade and the students are learning new verbs so they have to tell whether they blow, bang, or join a flute, a drum, and a parade. Of course, being the 12 year olds we are, Charles and I cackled a lot over the "blow, bang, or join" choice. I took a photo! (sorry, it's backwards)



Sidenote: Charles just came barging into my classroom. I asked him what the hell he wanted and he said "To come in here and tell you that I am going downstairs to do a poo. Again." I responded "Hells bells, Trudy!" and he left. Another exciting day at the Wiz Island Play School.

I celebrated my return to health with a trip to the Library, our local pub. Well, pub is a bit of a stretch, it's a very Korean-style bar. I was afraid I wouldn't be allowed after accidentally seducing my ex there a couple weeks ago but aside from some teasing, they've welcomed me back with open arms. I think they have a love/hate relationship with the songs I request. Usually a lot of K-Pop and Lady Gaga.

Right now I am mildly hungover and bored out of my skull and wishing the next two hours would hurry up and finish. Tonight, I'm heading to the gym (it's a walk day yay!) then going to a goodbye dinner for one of my dearest friends here, Maria. She's off to Australia to get her teaching degree. I am happy and excited for her, but I'm going to miss her like mad. Maria and I are the same percentage of crazy and it's rare you find that with someone.

Alright, must get back to loafing around and reading dlisted.com.
