Thursday, May 29th - Coming home June 13th!!

Tuesday May 27th was my last day of teaching for this year. We started exams on Wednesday; it will go on until June 5th, then one week of busy work and then that's it, done for the year. I'll be done on June 12th! Jacqui's school goes on until the 19th. However, she will finish working on the 12th as well so we can fly back together on the 13th. My flight had been booked by the school last year, and to change the date to wait for Jacqui would be more expensive than her losing a week of salary. That plus the fact that she would not have much to do at school - all the kids will be gone so there isn't much to do when you don't have your own classroom - made the choice easy. We will therefore fly out in the early morning of the 13th to get to Toronto shortly after noon. We are looking forward to spending two months at "home" - wherever that may be!!

Jacqui had a really busy week of tutoring; all kids have tests and exams this week and next, so it's a little bit of panic city for students and parents! A least she gets a bit of a break as Thursday is a religious holiday and we get the day off. It will be the first time that we spend a long weekend in Kuwait, but we just got back from Ottawa last week and are leaving in two weeks, so it's kind of hard to justify going away for this weekend! We are just planning on spending time at the Palms, relaxing and enjoying ourselves. It still weird to thing that we start our weekend when most of our friends back home still have three days of work to do before you get there. Granted, we will have worked two days by the time your weekend is over, but it's still weird anyway. Pretty soon, we'll have the same weekends!
