Our week was busier than normal -but it still didn't make it very busy! I started semester 2 at school. I'm now teaching math to the grade 7, 8, 9, 10 and part of the grade 11 kids. So ya, I'm teaching just about every kid in the school! My workload had increased but I had negotiated a pay raise with management before Christmas for this situation, so everything is OK. Jacqui tutored on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday. She will start this week with another student so she'll be tutoring practically from Sunday to Thursday. Jacqui loves her job. It's pretty much stress free; all she has to do is show up. She never had a job like this where she didn't have to prepare, to assess, to mark, to deal with parents, to decorate a class, to do report cards, ... She is now enjoying her stay in Kuwait. It's turning out to be a positive experience for her.
We booked our trip for the last week of February. We are going to a resort in Sri Lanka. It will be nice to get away for a bit. We also booked our tickets to go to Ottawa in May for Julie's graduation. That will however be a short trip - getting there on Wednesday afternoon and leaving to come back to Kuwait on Sunday afternoon. We will therefore not have time to visit our friends in the KW region; that will have to wait until we get back in June! But time flies, June will be here before we know it.
We hope that February treats you better than January did! We wish you warmth and sunny skies!
