As if my teaching schedule does not keep me busy enough, I find it hard to turn down requests from students to attend "this" or be a judge of "that". Last Thursday I was one of three "judges" for a debate by Senior 2 students on whether "program" or "university" was a priority when picking post-secondary studies. It was very well organized and well-done. I didn't get home until after 6 pm. after one of two of my busiest teaching days -ugh! Yesterday, over the lunch hour, I "judged" another debate by Senior 1 students. Less professional, but good nonetheless.
Today after school I agreed to be a judge for a "Knowledge" competition by Senior 2 students.
I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I'm there, but I'm looking at another long, long day..............I also did a "voice recording" for a teacher on Monday- I was the "hostess" of a "talk show". Cathy is a Chinese teacher entering a provincial teacher competition. It was hilarious!
A gift from "Shirley" - co-ordinator of the Foreign teachers. She made this bracelet to give me "good fortune". I need it..............
Shirley and Sunshine brought these gifts to me yesterday in my office. A box of kiwis and a case of vanilla yogurt. I was told that the yogurt - imported from Russia- is very expensive. It was nice...............I pondered the reason. Perhaps be cause Sunshine saw the tears in my eyes at the hospital on Tuesday - two more weeks in a cast. The yogurt is delicious! And, I love kiwis!!!!! It DID perk me up !
