The start of the school year has been fine. There are a few problems but you just have to roll with the punches and go with the flow. Laugh it off is the best way to cope with it!! All in all, it's really nice to be back. We've walked on the beach a few times, spent some time at the Crowne Plaza by the pool (and in the gym!!), revisited some of our favorite restaurants and just got back into a routine, which is nice. Jacqui has a lighter work load than last year (24 periods instead of 30, out of 40) and I'm also down to 18, from 24 (however I have a department of 7 teachers ... there is no way I could do what I need to do if I had 24 periods!)
We have been at school since August 16th, students have been back since the 23rd (but most of them only came on the 28th), so this is our second full week and already, we are looking at holidays. Eid (a religious holiday) is coming up and it was either 4 days off if it was on Sunday the 11th, or a full week if it was on the 12th, depending on the moon. Well the moon was good to us and Eid is on the 12th, which means we get next week off and will thus travel to Thailand. We are really looking forward to it; the chance to discover another part of the planet is always exciting!! This post might be boring, but the next few ones will have a bunch of pictures from Asia! It should be fun!!
Wishing everyone a good labour day weekend, and Bonne rentrée à tous nos amis profs!
